Yep, you got it and Google doesn't really care about that number from what I've seen.
Max, you hit the nail on the head. The amount of time people spend on your site is so key and getting to be more and more important. So if someone types in "blue widgets" in Google and you are ranked #5 but people stay on your site for an average of 10 minutes vs. 3 minutes for the sites above you... pretty soon Google is going to move you up.
They can measure the amount of time someone clicks from their results onto your site and how long before the person exits and comes back to the Google results.
So having a very deep, thorough and useful site for your niche is very important. And of course get those inbound links from related sites. (Preferably reputable sites)
