What do search engines want?

[SEO Thread]

Google wants to find the right website for any given search query.

They determine this by looking at the user& #39;s behavior:
+ Reading duration
+ Bounce rate

This thread teaches you how. Read on https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd face" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd face">

1a. Reading Duration:

Google tracks the average reading duration for every single one of your posts and pages.

A longer reading duration signals that the content is interesting - else a reader wouldn& #39;t stick around.

The longer the average reading duration, the better.

1b. How to increase the avg. reading duration:
+ Improve the overall structure to make it easy to skim & read
+ Use subheadings
+ Write short paragraphs
+ Write important words & phrases in bold letter
+ Add images & video

Do anything you can so the reader keeps scrolling.

1c. A word about video:

Video is almost like a SEO hack in this regard.

If someone watches a 5 minutes video, it increases the reading duration by 5 minutes.

That& #39;s why embedding videos into your blog posts can be a good idea. Even better when you& #39;ve made the videos.

2a. Bounce Rate:

BR is a number that describes how many of your site visitors leave again from the same page.

Example:

Let& #39;s say you search for "new funny tv shows". You click the link and read through the list.

Then you close the window or click back.

You are a bounce.

2b. Bounce rate is calculated in percentages:

100% BR = Every reader leaves again after seeing the page.

0% BR = All your readers have clicked a link to reach another page on your site.

A low BR signals to Google that your blog is interesting overall. The lower the better.

2c. How to reduce your blog& #39;s bounce rate:
+ Link to related posts on your blog
+ Make images clickable
+ Write strong CTA& #39;s (Call-To-Action)

Most importantly:
+ Give your reader a reason to click to another page
+ Show them how much more you have to offer
