31. In other words, Google is
looking at factors like dwell
time and bounce rate to
decide if your content is
relevant (and worth
rankings!)
32. If users click the #1 result,
but then immediately
bounce back to the SERP,
that means the page didn’t
answer their query. Why
would Google keep it at #1?
33. On the other hand, if an
article ranks #8, has a high
CTR and people read the
entire article, that page likely
offered great content and
answered their query.
34. You need to optimize for low
bounce rates and high dwell time.
You can accomplish this with a
variety of strategies, including:
1. Video: Include video content for increased dwell time.
2. Readability: Break down your content into bite sized, easy-to-
read sections.
3. Content: Great content is still king. Answer a user’s question
at the top of the article, so they don’t have to hunt for it. Then
entice them with an overview of everything else you’ll cover
to keep them engaged. Great content keeps people engaged.
91. Most searches occur on mobile
devices. To support their mostly
mobile users, Google announced
this year that they were broadly
rolling out their mobile-first
index.
92. The mobile-first index means that
Google will be looking primarily at
a site’s mobile version to
determine rankings globally.
103. Google isn’t the only search engine. More users
are going directly to sites like Amazon and
YouTube for their searches.
In fact, YouTube is already the second largest
search engine, with more queries than Bing.
Cisco estimated that by 2021, video will be 80%
of internet traffic.
Video content will continue to grow, and you
need to be a part of it.
