Am I missing something, or is it 1/8 of Google's search traffic, according to your numbers, not 1%?

Grandparent was using "for" as in "per". The 1% is irrelevant. It could be any unit of search.

"That's a 17-fold difference in the price per 1% share" "That's a 17-fold difference in the price per 8% share" "That's a 17-fold difference in the price per search"

Ok, I read it as paying N for X share of search traffic, not shares of stock.
