Does website traffic affect search engine rankings?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Hello, I am not a SEO person, but I think that no one knows the exact factors that affect rankings. However, I do not exclude the possibility that someone from their own experience may know this. Purely from general ideas, it seems to me that if you simulate user actions on the site, i.e. find a site through a search engine, go to it, navigate through pages, linger on some of them and repeat these actions regularly, this should have a positive effect on the position of the site in the search results. Is it so?

Answer 1

At the moment, the behavioral factor for SEO is at the very bottom compared to other factors, that is, it is worth emulating only if everything else in SEO is done for you.

Answer 2

This is called the behavioral factor. Yes, it does. How much it affects now and how much it will influence in the future is known only to PS developers.

Answer 3

behavioral factors have a significant impact on ranking, moreover, search engines have long "learned" to track the cheating of behavioral factors and apply penalties for this.
