Hello friends,
How Much Effect referral traffic in Keyword ranking..?
Google uses a lot of ranking factors. What webmasters are starting to realize now is that, Google is paying more attention to user metrics.
If you suddenly receive a press coverage for example, and most people who came in through that press coverage stayed on your blog for a long time, then you should expect your site to rank higher.
If you also have more direct visitors, it's also a sign that you're an authority. Google may give your site a boost in SERPs.
If you're receiving more traffic from a particular city or country, it shows people in that area like your contents. Google may decide to give you a ranking boost for that region.
Google is paying attention to lots of metrics. That's why numerous SEO gurus admitted that SEO is now complicated.
The only way to protect your site from losing rankings is to build your site for the people.
Traffic categorically does not affect rankings. ... It is true that Google's mission is to rank popular sites, and traffic is one measure of popularity. It is also true that Google probably has a fairly good idea of how much traffic you get (whether or not you have Google Analytics installed).
Referral traffic comes through the link building if you are getting good links so it doesn't affect on the keyword ranking.
