Increasing reader engagement is a top goal among digital publishers for many reasons. Google is known to rely on engagement factors such as time spent on site and bounce/click-through rates for its search result pages, but high engagement helps publishers in plenty of other ways, including:

  • Stronger brand recognition
  • Decreased advertisement costs thanks to high click-through rates
  • Higher number of page views per user session
  • More returning visitors
  • A larger following across social channels and email
  • Higher revenue formed by all factors

Inventing “sticky” features around top quality content can get your readers to stay on your site longer – and should be part of your engagement strategy in 2020.
