Does traffic has correlation with search engine ranking?

montyauto · 01-06-2007, 12:58 AM

To increase search engine ranking, we need to take care on metatag, look for quality link partner, keywords in paragraph, quality related info, smartpage..

But some one say that if our website traffic increase, search engine ranking will increase as well.

Will that be true?

No no not at all, if you have heared it somewhere then let me tell you its just a myth traffic has nothing to do with the rankings.

I agree it is links that will rank your site, traffic doesn't come into it.

Using your keyword as anchor text will help you increase your ranking.

IMO links will help you on SERPs using your targeted keywords as your anchor text while i think were just targeting traffic for sales...

No it doesn't have any.

it does not have any correlation that i have ever heard of - although it is conceivable that having a large amount of consistent traffic could help to establish a site a "trusted site" in Google's eyes and therefore, in small way, influence the sites rankings...

There is an indirect and weak correlation between traffic and search engine rank (because more traffic increases the chance that someone will mention [and link to] your page on their website or blog or on a forum), however refreshing your page or paying people to look at it will not help.

Can anyone clarify about Page Rank and Traffic? Are there different?
