Clicks

Clicks represent user interactions with search results and website elements that search engines track as behavioral signals. These interactions provide valuable data about content relevance, user satisfaction, and the effectiveness of search result presentations.

CTR measures the percentage of users who click on your search result after seeing it, while Bounce Rate tracks users who leave immediately after clicking. Dwell Time captures how long users stay on your page before returning to search results, and Pogosticking identifies when users quickly jump between multiple search results.

Search engines analyze click patterns to understand content quality and relevance through User Signals that influence rankings. SERP Features like featured snippets, knowledge panels, and image carousels compete for clicks and can significantly impact traditional organic click-through rates.

How This SEO Knowledge Base Works

The pages in this section are structured as an interconnected knowledge graph, designed to be both comprehensive and easy to navigate:

  • Self-contained - Each page fully explains its concept, with links to background reading
  • Interconnected - Internal links show you how concepts relate and naturally connect
  • Layered depth - Start with broad overviews or dive straight into specific topics
  • Visual navigation - The linkmap above shows how the SEO structure fits together
  • Information-dense - No fluff or filler, just the information you need in as few words as possible

The goal is reference content that respects your time without sacrificing depth.
