you don't need huge numbers of back links or 100k visitors into your site to gain top position in Google. Or you don't even use magic submitter or se nuke for link building or article submission. With a limited number of visitors, you can get a top position in Google. If your site getting 100 visitors daily and all these 100 people exit from your site quickly, It will increase the bounce rate. Suppose you getting daily 10 visitors and 8 people buying something from your site. that give less bounce rate. If you are selling cake . and someone search "cake" in google. Search engine check all the cake related websites. google put your website in top search engine result page. On the other hand , the site that getting 100 visitors and with higher bounce rate, Google slowly put it in the trash.
So it means if we have less bounce rate then our website will rank higher than those websites which have more visitors & back-links ?
There are many things which count in ON-Site SEO . Bounce rate Time spend on the website CTR These type of things matter when Google rank sites .
Bounce rate certainly can increase the position in the results page up to some extent but that doesn't mean the traffic will increase automatically.
You dont need tons of backlinks to rank top 10 on google. Even 10 backlinks can make you top 10 if those were right.
Sorry, you might have a few okay(ish) points here, but the analogy you used is farcical and misleading. WebDev
Agree, this is what i was going to say. I don't understand why people make these kind of BOLD claims easily like they are the head of Google SE Team.
Bounce rate shows quality of your website, quality of content, design etc.. so it is very important in SEO too.
On site seo is not enough if you want to rank for a good keyword. Google uses around 200 singals when ranking your site. Bounce Rate is just one of them.
The number of visitors is a ranking factor, yes. But not as important as sometimes stated. I am often setting up new sites and ranking them on first page while they still have very few visitors (5-10 per day). This does not avoid good rankings, if your optimization is correct. The same refers to links, except for the very competitive one and two word terms. A bit more important is the bounce rate, as it is a good indicator for the quality of your content and the focus (concerning SERPs and how your site appears there) of your site.
