Live niche relevant view counters but for your blog posts/articles.
E.g since I'm in the carnivore niche I could have something like: 23 carnivores are currently reading this page.
My theory being that searchers will read your page for longer because they see other people like them are also reading it thus increasing dwell time and maybe ranking slightly higher in Google and the cycle repeats except just with a larger amount of viewers.
23 carnivores reading this page -> increase dwell time/user engagement -> ranks higher -> more viewers -> X number of carnivores reading this page -> repeat.
Social proof in action basically.
I know this tactic is used on paid funnels but what about for organic SEO posts.
Thoughts?
