In conclusion, this paper offers valuable insight and suggestions for SEO engineers to follow when optimizing websites; and if implemented correctly, high rankings for specific keywords can be achieved.

Even though this study doesn’t apply to Google, I felt its relevancy was important to analyze similarities from selected SEO factors from different search engines.

According to the authors, Page Interest is related to Pageview and Bounce Rate, which is “the percentage of web surfers who visit websites and quickly leave” [2]. In other words, it’s the percentage of page visitors who decide that the page is not relevant to their search query and quickly leave.
