If a user clicks through and don't end up back at the search engine, there is probably a high probability they found the answer whether or not they spent a short or long time at the page. But if they click through and then two seconds later comes back to the search engine results, that seems unlikely.

I tend to scroll down the first few pages of results and open anything that appears interesting even if it's not really relevant to what I wanted. Hopefully that doesn't look similar enough that it might impact the ratings of sites on other search engines. It's possible that the first few results got me to what I was looking for (that's far from a given these days though) but I'm clicking on a lot of other results in a short amount of time regardless.
