Number or percentage of new visitors impact Google rankings?

[vtmoz]

Hi all,

Does the number/percentage of new visitors (from different IPs and countries) impact the Google rankings? If there are more number of new visitors, will Google favours the website in rankings considering the fact that new visitors are better than returning/same visitors?

Thanks

In general, new visitors are better than returning for many reasons, but whether their number will improve your positions depends on the source of traffic.

Direct, paid and referral traffic will not affect your rankings directly. There are few cases where spikes in referral traffic improve positions, but this effect doesn't last.

Organic traffic will, this falls under user behaviour category, if your CTR is growing and your Bounce Rate is in check, your positions will improve.
