Bounce rate is a term used by Google Analytics. It refers to visitors who land on your blog and leave without going to any other page. More bounce rate, more people are "bounce" when they land on your blog.
Maintain your low bounce rate is a wise move, it keeps people on your blog for more. Here are some tips to help you do it.
It might seem convenient for readers to see a post together on your home page. Perhaps they don't read all if you display only an excerpt. And perhaps you simply like to see full posts on the home page.
But your homepage needs to attract the attention of people - and it is much more difficult to do when there is a wall of text.
Including an image could help, but a post everything will push to many other content to the bottom of the page. So you are basically giving impatient visitors something to look at when they find your blog.
It is likely if it is the same position than during their last visit, they are much more research.
Do not lose people at the first hurdle. Do more with your home page. A very good example is my personal blog recently redesigned.
If you landed on the home page of tips for Blog and clicked through this post, have you noticed how I have been careful with how I chose the location of the tag "Read More"?
In WordPress, this tag allows to break a post at any time. Readers will be greeted with a "Read More" link that once clicked, their will to the full post. This link displays on your home and category pages page, but not in your diet - and not on the post page.
I highly recommend the use instead of an automatic excerpt, which breaks your position after a number of characters. This is not great as you have no control on where the failure occurs. You could install a plugin retrieves, but then you need to write an excerpt for each post. I found a little annoying.
The "read More" tag allows you to address the problem of displaying any poster on your home page. It also pushes you to write titles best post and best opening paragraphs - two things which are massively important if you want to get people clicking through.
Flooding your readers with endless new positions - particularly if they are not any good - is not the greatest way to keep people interested.
But you should not slow down your display to a mere handful frequency, either. A lack of new content will be regular readers to bounce until you publish a new post.
Be especially careful to purchase ads repeatedly when you have not posted anything new since the last time you announced.
Google Analytics will show you the rate of rebound for each of your sites of reference. Therefore if a social network sends you loads of traffic, but a very high bounce rate, which can propose you are not much quality traffic on this site.
A high bounce rate does not mean necessarily that you must divide the social network, especially if you get in other ways. But let us be made - if it is a very popular site and all those who touch your blog is simply bouncing away, you can look at the quality of the content on your blog before you blame the social network.
There are some plugins that will help you display associated content on your messages. Go to those who use tags to find related posts on your own blog, instead of messages which may be related, but are in fact other blogs.
The advantage of the display of the related content is that a reader who reads at the end of a post can easily find other posts on the same subject, or that have similarities. This helps to keep people on your blog longer.
Once you have a few posts on your blog, you can find that to write a new post can lead to thoughts or ideas that relate to your previous messages.
Don't rely not only on the links of content related automatic gathering these positions - instead, make sure you include links between related posts for the readers can get a little more about what you write about.
This can create a much richer experience for readers. Think of Wikipedia: I've lost count of how many times I looked at an article, to lose track of time and end on a completely different page an hour later!
As soon as you add more content for your blog, it is important help readers find their way. Use too many different types of navigation - use some and make it easy to use.
Also, be to not keep changing your navigation around, complete as your most loyal readers can get totally confused.
If the first thing I see on a blog is a box which subscribe bothering, I am very unlikely to remain - not to mention you subscribe. The subscription is something that everyone understands, and most people wouldn't like to make just a few seconds after landing on a blog for the first time.
Lose the pitch! You might get a few subscribers more than usual, but you will probably displease many more people than usual, too.
While these tips may help you, there is a limit to how much you can do. Don't obsess about your statistics - some people may simply not be interested in your blog. That's ok. Some things are beyond your control.
Are you concerned about your bounce rate? What do you do, if anything, to minimize it?
