Google Exec Spills the Beans! ; Search Engine News :: Search Engine Lowdown:

From Search Engine News by Andy Beal Search Engine News :: Search Engine Lowdown: Google Exec Spills the Beans!: Quote:

Branding: "28% of Google searches are for a "product name", 9% are for a "brand name" and 5% are searches for a "company name". "Brand" keywords also have a 8x higher ROI than generic keywords. Not sure if that is for all searches or just consumer-product related searches, but either way it demonstrates the importance of making sure your site shows up on the SERPs for your brand."

Reach: "Google admits that it can only reach 5% of web page traffic via Google.com and its search partners. With their contextual ad partners, that jumps to 80%. Kind of important if they are to meet that 50% annual revenue growth predicted by CSFB."
