In the early days of SEO Google evaluated content based almost 100% on backlinks and on-page SEO.
But over the last few years (especially thanks to RankBrain), Google has started to incorporate “User Experience Signals” into their algorithm. Specifically, they measure how users interact with the results… and use that to help evaluate content quality.
