Dwell time is the amount of time visitors spend on your website, before going back to search results. The longer they stay, the better it is for your ranking.

Erik: Good for you! I want to look at an alternative, as I have some issues with Google and the lack of the motto, "Don't Do Evil"... ;)

Best Premises,

Hey Martin!

There's a lot to like about the new Google Analytics GA4.

For starters, it's much easier to use and navigate than the previous version. It also offers more insights and reporting options, so you can get a better sense of your website's performance.

Overall, I think GA4 is a great upgrade for any website owner who wants to track their site's traffic and analytics.

Erik: Did you watch the latest webinar on BizSugar about the new Google analytics tool. GA4? The presenter said that the wording, bounce rate, will change in the future. What will happen with the dwell time for this post / page, if I let it be in the browser, for later reading?

All the Best,

Martin

I might have missed it, Martin.

Is there a link to watch it again?

As per your question, dwell time is only when you click on the link on search engine pages, then visit the website and then coming back again to SERPs.

It does not count as dwell time, as far as I know, if you click on any other referral links, pages or websites.
