If I click onto your website, and immediately hit back, that's a sign it wasn't a great website for my needs.
If I click in, and spend a bit of time reading, maybe I even scroll through your archive of previous articles, then that's a good sign, yeah?
What do you consider a better metric for user engagement?

- tarsinge 11mo agoIn fact content marketing blogs and SEO spam sites have wall of text designed more or less intentionally to make the user lose a lot of time. Add to this the time to close to cookie tracking banner and the multiple ads. Maybe there was a time in the early 2000s in the early internet when people were just browsing websites for fun where that metric made sense.

User "engagement" is a rotten metric that doesn't represent what most of us actually care about - results and answers, ASAP. I'm not claiming this would work but if search engines had a thumbs up/down button next to results I would use it if it informed the ranking algorithm or personalized it for me.
