Does Google organic search ranking depends on web traffic? - Paul - 05-26-2014 01:43 AM
Let's say there are two website, both dealing with obscure things (key words) that gets very few traffic, if at all. Initially, website 1 is ranked fifth on the first page while website 2 is ranked at the top. But let's say website 1 suddenly gets a lot more clicks than website 2, possibly due to some publicity, or you had a bunch of your friends click on it.
Will website 1 eventually get an improved ranking? Again, I'm talking organic search, not paid ads or Adwords
But what if you click on your own website a million times or something?

Nope. The reality is the information is confidential, some of it they make avaiable to public but not all of it.

It wouldn't matter if it did or not. The goals are:
1] get traffic,
2] convert the traffic.
If website 1 gets more clicks than website 2, it accomplishes goal 1]. The fact that it is above or below website 2 shouldn't matter. If there is little competition for the keywords, I wouldn't be surprised if the viewer visited all the sites on page 1...
