Is activity of the website afecting the speed of indexation by Google?

[topcaz]

I am now driving some low cost traffic to the website, will it increase the speed of indexation and ranking?

If the traffic is low quality and bounce rate is over 60% it will most likely reduce and relivance

Traffic works in two ways (from a Google/SEO perspective)...

1. If it's good traffic (ie real, and it's users that interact with a page or find what they want quickly on it and don't hit the back button to search for the same thing elsewhere), then (if there's lots of it, and I've heard that 'lots' really does mean 'substantial') it might help push the page up. But from tests I've seen, as soon as that traffic dries up, the page will likely drop again (**unless there are other signals indicating it's a good page).

2. If it's good traffic, and there is a sustained trickle of it, it's (theoretically) helping the search engine build up some historical data/knowledge that the page might be useful. In that case, it may also give signals that other pages on the site might be useful, too.

In both cases, if we're talking about Google, it probably helps if it's coming from Chrome users.

But....

If the page isn't ranking for anything, but it's getting visitors, the search engine may well know (or suspect) it's false traffic. Otherwise, where is it coming from? Social? A messaging app? A link? A traffic generation service?

I'd suggest the SE can't see messaging app traffic, but that's a guess. It might be able to see social. It highly likely can see link traffic.

If you are using some sort of traffic-generation service, it might work if you are using it optimally (and it's a good one). But with the proviso of notes above.

But if it's rubbish traffic, then as Allfreechips says, it might give some negative signals that probably won't help you.


**unless there are other signals indicating it's a good page....like much of SEO-based signalling, it's really a combination of factors that likely give the best results....quality of the on-page coverage, user interactions, links, citations, brand behind the page etc etc

Thanks a lot for the replies, yes it is not the best quality traffic, but it is from Social Media White sources and it is see by Google as a paid traffic, so I hope this will decrease the time of website start appearing on google organic searches.

I would also add that the GEO of traffic also matters. For example, if your main traffic is from the US, and now you have a sharp increase in traffic from India, then this may be suspicious from the search algorithms.

But is it real traffic or a sudden increase in just a bunch of seo wannabe's hammering the site with bots and searches as well as site scraping?

There are special tools for this to track behavioral factors and understand what kind of traffic it is: real people, parsers or bots.

Increased activity on your website may slightly speed up the indexing process, but if this activity consists of low-quality traffic, it will likely harm your site's ranking and lead Google to categorize your website as low-quality, making ascending to better positions more difficult. You mentioned the traffic is low-cost, but is it lower than the investment required (in terms of money, time and effort) to improve your content and get some quality backlinks?

Probably,but not so much,it might get you more views,but it won’t make Google crawl your site quicker that good like you think it is.Google cares more about how good your content is, if your site works well, and if it’s got authority. If people actually engage with your stuff, Google might crawl more often, but don’t expect that to happen fast. Just focus on making great content and getting solid backlinks,that’s what’ll actually help you in the long run
