Honestly, marketing is one of those topics that I have never found myself interested in. I was never one of those ‘creative’ types of people, however, I am good with numbers and I enjoy understanding the process of how people decide on what want. Prior to reading this blog post on Get Busy Media, I would have never though that the time a page load could affect the way consumers think. When I thinking about the process of marketing an item, I don’t think about advertising them on Google, or any other search engines for that matter, I think about how I can attract a person’s interest via ads on magazines, bus stops, and even on Facebook!

The main part that I would like to reiterate from the blog post would be to consider the time that your site loads. Apparently Google not only sorts your site on their search engine by relevancy, but also by the time that your site loads! According to the post, 57% of users will leave a site after waiting for three seconds, and 80% of these users, will never return. I find this interesting because, after reading the post, I realize that I too, am annoyed whenever a site takes a while to load, but I would have never connected it in this manner. It’s fascinating to actually see the statistics involved with people’s satisfaction with the time a site takes to load.
