if they hit your site and then quickly go back to SERP and click another result, that's bad for you.
if they hit your site and spend 10 minutes on your site and then go back to SERP and click another result, that's good for you.
if they hit your site and never go back to SERP, that's great for you.
so in the example you gave -- yes, if they hit your site, get their info, and bounce -- and *don't go back to google SERP" -- that's great for you.
and yes, I've been running tube sites for almost a decade and I can tell you with full confidence -- it's really good for SEO if visitors spend longer on your site.
