      We have one website and have posted our blog post url in the social media sites and got almost 5k visits in 3 days’ time, with 11sec avg time on site, zero conversions and with 97% bounce rate. This in turn reduced the total conversion rate for the same month to less than 0.5%.

      According to google algorithm, these are factors affecting website ranking. Can anyone guide me whether which visits from social media affect our website in any case based on these Analytics factors?

      Please help me out on the same!

      Note: Blog post topic was related to latest technology update and the landing page also based in the respective topic as well.

        Hi,

        "According to google algorithm, these are factors affecting website ranking."

        I would like to let you know one thing if users enters search query in Google and Bounce rate is very in that case ranking could go down but not in your case as you mentioned that you are getting visits from social media sites.

        Hope this helps.

        Thanks

          Typically, website visitors from social media does tend to have a higher bounce rate. But the fact that it's coming from social and those are actually considered links (tweets are links) trumps the fact that they bounce or have a higher bounce rate.

          When it comes to bounce rate from a particular source, Google does have info about clicks and bounces from Google's organic search, but I don't believe they have the bounce rate from someone coming from Twitter, clicking on your site, then going back to Twitter. They do have the overall bounce rate data, but apparently they don't use Google Analytics data.

          Overall, I don't believe a high bounce rate from social media will have an effect on rankings--it's bounce rate from Google organic search that may have an effect.
