How do search engines measure User Happiness?

Post by ric »

Let's think outside the box for a bit and try to not think as a developer, SEO or designer. How do you think search engines measure User Happines?

Here are some [b]brainstorming[/b] ideas:

* Load time of a page accross all speeds (wireless pda --> broadband)
* Browser compatability
* Way to many links could mean too cluttered?
* etc...

These elements that we brainstorm must be capable to be machine evaluated, not human.

I'm not sure search engines care about user happiness. Why should they? Search engines care about subject relevance; and they try to match a search to the most relevant page to that search. Look at the stat "Visit Duration" in Awstats, if your web provider has it. I think the longer a visitor stays on your site, the happier they are - they had no other reason to leave your site.
