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.!
