The Major Causes Of A High Bounce Rate

Bounce rate in SEO terms generally refers to how many times a person leaves a website right away without having viewed any page other than the entry page.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec 10, 2009 -
In this case it might be obvious that you'd want to lower the bounce rates – if they are more than the average rate, you should find out why and find a solution. Bounce rate statistics can help you discover some techniques to save and earn more.

The main things to consider when dealing with high bounce rates include web design and usability, content, navigation, and technical problems. Similarly, people want to find information that are relevant and something they can actually use and benefit from. There is a lot of work to be done when lowering a high bounce rate.

On The Outlook

With web design and usability, looks are essential. A cluttered website may cause your bounce rates to become high. This is because when people perform searches online, they just want to get information right then and there. Bounce rates offer some important indications regarding your website design. Having a high bounce rate can possibly be the result of slow load time, an unattractive design, and/or unappealing music.

Keywords

Just because you use lots of keywords doesn't mean you are applying them correctly. Showing up for outdated or irrelevant keywords is a typical mistake of poorly run paid search marketing campaigns, but if can also affect organic listings. If your site is ranking for irrelevant keywords, users browsing through wishing to find specific information will be disappointed when just a quick look at the page doesn't indicate what they were searching for.

Content

Good content means having a good conversion rate. Basically, this means getting visitors to actually stay on your web page. You may have tons of visitors each day, but are any of them interested enough to take a second look? If your content is difficult to read and not engaging enough, visitors are likely to leave your site immediately. You don't want too much content, however, you need enough information to be convincing. And what's the point of having good content if users can't even locate it on your website? You should always have a clear intuitive navigation structure.

Descriptions

Incomplete and/or wrong information can cause high bounce rates. Imagine arriving at a page with missing images, confusing descriptions, no titles and high prices. You'd be unlikely to stay in that website.

Technical Problems

Technical problems vary and if you're going to incorporate some pretty complex components to your webpage, you should not always expect everyone to be willing to download them just to use your webpage.

Conclusion

The bottom line is to improve website conversions (a key factor of website marketing http://www.dataflurry.com/ ). If the site is converting an adequate portion of its traffic, a high bounce rate becomes less relevant. It becomes even less relevant if those conversions are producing high revenue. Simply assess the data, baseline the bounce rate, and establish a goal. There are many more factors that can possibly contribute to a high bounce rate, and you can use some online tools or consult an search engine optimization http://www.dataflurry.com/marketing/search_engine_optimiz... service provider to analyze the possible causes of your high bounce rates.
