Does website traffic increase google ranking

Honestly, we traffic does increase ranking, in this blog, I will give you a quick synopsis of why it helps with ranking and 2 tactics you can use to gain more traffic on your website.

Why it matters!

Let's face it, Website traffic matters. Website traffic can help improve, but is not guaranteed to, bounce rate and session duration. This plays a role in the relevancy and authority of that webpage because it signals to Google that people are satisfied with what they searched for.

The most important reason they matter is because of backlinks. The more traffic you gain, the more likely you are to gain a back link, which increases the authority of your page.

P.S.: Google does mention that higher traffic is not a metric for the serp algorithm, but it can help boost actual ranking signals such as bounce rate. Session duration and backlinks. That is why traffic, in general, is not an indicator of increasing SEO performance, so make sure the traffic and the audience are correlated.

Tactic one

Contacting influences or just posting on your social channel is a simple tactic to increase website traffic. Now, if you do plan to contact or even potentially pay an influencer, which we absolutely do not recommend, just make sure the type of traffic you're paying will react the way you expect them to on the web page. Their for this requires some deep thinking about the psycho graphics behind this audience.

Tactic two

A second tactic you can do is help out a blogger with his content. The only thing that is required in order to do this is clear expertise on this subject, but you agree to help him with his blog since you are so knowledgeable about the audience, in return for a back link that references your webpage.
