  JP Morgan Chase Property     8.1          22.7           77.3
  HSBC                         6.1          38.1           61.9
  Capital One                  4.1          49.4           50.6
  Citigroup                    3.1          11.6           88.4
  Bank of America              3.1           7.4           92.6
  Bankrate.com Sites           2.8          10.5           89.5
  American Express             2.3          42.4           57.6

The results shown above show that creditcards.com is the top destination for clicks for “credit card” or “credit cards”. This accounts for 10.6 percent of all click-thrus, followed by the JP Morgan Chase Property (8.1 percent) and HSBC (6.1 percent).

That fact that CreditCards.com is the top destination is because of its heavy PPC strategy, as two-thirds (67.0 percent) of clicks to the site come from PPC. However, the JP Morgan Chase Property and HSBC each generated at least 6 percent of total click-thrus on the search terms “credit card and “credit cards”, but they have a significantly lower share of the total number of clicks resulting from PPC (22.7 percent and 38.1 percent). In other words, these sites are relatively more effective than CreditCards.com at generating “credit card”-related clicks via organic search results.
