When you're on the first page, like 5 or 6, this PAYS !
Usually, people will look at all the links google serves them on the first page so....

Is this an assumption or based on personal statistics? I kept track of several of my top terms for about 6 months up until I lost everything back in the spring. From actual numbers I kept, I found that every step you move down the first page from number one you're losing anywhere in the range of 15-30% of the clicks you would have picked up from being one place higher, and the difference only grew the further down the page a term moved.
The path of least resistance is the path most often taken, and my personal numbers seemed to support that wholeheartedly. I imagine it makes a big difference who exactly is ranking ahead of you though.
