What is the impact of Google`s Direct Answers on SEO?
- SEO |
If you don`t know what Google`s Direct Answers is, please check the image above.
Basically what it does, it responds to certain queries right in the SERPs (providing bits of text) so that people won`t feel the need to visit the source website (it happened to me a few times just in the past month)
My question is: How will this feature affect the website`s traffic? Will a visit still be counted if one person reads the text but doesn`t visit the website?
If not then basically Google is stealing your traffic. Do we have any option to opt out of it?
