Is Dwell Time an SEO ranking factor?

[Maria Jonas]

Google monitors dwell time in order to improve the user's experience. So, yes, it can be considered as a ranking factor.

So, to create a better user experience, Google offers a few related searches to help you point you in the right direction. To be clear, neither of these features indicate that dwell time is, in fact, a ranking factor. But they do suggest that Google monitors it in order to improve the user's experience.

Hi Friends,

If you mean time on page, supposedly Google does not take this into account. On the other hand, they say that bounce rates do influence search results. However, something doesn’t make sense with this. As an example, many blogs have a high bounce rate but may still be engaging, with high time on page. Many blogs can go over 5 minutes compared to the average web page, which is closer to 40 seconds. These can position very well in the SERPs, despite their very high bounce rates. The only answer is that time on page must be what is saving them.

When Google ranks websites for its search results, it wants to provide the most valuable resources to its users. The more users interact with a particular website, the more valuable it appears to Google, as it demonstrates user interest.

Dwell time is the amount of time that passes between the moment a user clicks a search result and subsequently returns back to the SERPs.
