1 Don't optimize for Google but for Google's users
There’s no minimum length, and there’s no minimum number of
articles a day that you have to post, nor even a minimum number
of pages on a website.
In most cases, quality is better than quantity.
– John Müller, Webmaster Trend-Analyst, Google Schweiz

1 Don't optimize for Google but for Google's users
Dwell time
Bounce Rate (1) Google doesn't have data on site bounce
rates.
(2) Google said back in 2008 that bounce rate
metrics are spammable and noisy and has
said that time and time again.
(3) Last week, Google said not just the above
but also that high bounce rates may be the
expected behavior on a specific site.
