Summary

In episode #858, we discuss why dwell time matters for SEO. Tune in to hear how you can increase your dwell time. We have committed to throwing a FREE Marketing School Live Event in Los Angeles, once Marketing School reaches 1M downloads in a 30 day period. Take action: Rate, review, subscribe, and SHARE. Check the progress here! TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: Why Dwell Time Matters for SEO (and How to Increase It) [00:36] Dwell time is how long people spend on your page. [00:46] Google factors this in when ranking your site. [01:05] The longer a visitor stays on your site, the more engaged they are. [01:57] Look at your pages with the most search traffic and figure out the highest ranking keywords. [02:30] If you make sure that your webpage answers the questions people are searching for, it will increase your dwell time. [02:41] A friend of ours has an app called “YouTube Subscribe Bar”. [03:00] When you write a post, find a relevant video on YouTube, plug the embed code into the app, and it will not only embed the video, but allow you to post a link to subscribe to your channel instead of the video creator’s channel. [03:50] If you’re not sure what people want, make a survey asking them. [04:04] That’s it for today! [04:20] Go here to see how many downloads the show is getting. Also rate and review to help us meet our goal of 1 Million downloads per month. Hopefully, we’ll see you at the live event in L.A.! Leave some feedback: What should we talk about next?
