expensive traffic leaves as soon as it arrives–i.e, it “bounces.”
Why does traffic from online advertising bounce? Anticipate about it: you’ve done the selfsame affair abounding
times. You’ve searched on a search engine, clicked on a aftereffect, then left that page less than ten
seconds after you arrived. You did that again and again until you activate what you were looking for.
You might easily accept left a trail of bounces on the server logs of a dozen websites, for a dozen
website owners to anguish over.
Why did you accumulate leaving? As you weren’t finding what you were looking for on those websites
within the aboriginal ten to thirty seconds of arriving. Acquaintance had taught you that you’d acquisition what
you were looking for faster clicking on other search results, one of which was bound to accept what you
were looking for, than sifting buttoned up the pages of a website that didn’t attending actual promising from
the alpha.
That’s how everyone searches, and how everyone treats online advertising. You accept to assignment with this
behavior rather than against it.
How to Grasp Your Online Advertising Traffic before It Bounces
So how accomplish you accumulate online advertising traffic from bouncing? Anticipate about why you bounced. What fabricated
you suspect that the website had what you were searching for? If you were using a search engine, you
had searched on a keyword–let’s add you searched on “baby bag website content.” Without
realizing it, you were scanning each page for the keyword, “baby bag website content,” or
something actual close to it.
A website that talked about “baby bag interlacing copy” might accept been what you were looking for, but
if you didn’t apperceive that “interlacing copy” is aloof another chat for “website content,” you’d accept hit the
“back” button. You’d accumulate hitting the “back” button until you arrived at a page that had that keyword
in the page title, page headings, and in the aboriginal few lines of the body, maybe in boldface to accomplish
it easier to acquisition.
Of course, if you arrived at the page via a link from another website, you weren’t looking for a
search engine keyword. You were aloof looking (hoping) for something that had to accomplish with what fabricated you
click on the link in the aboriginal abode. If the page title and the aboriginal page heading resembled the content
of the link you had clicked on, you’d air according to you had activate what you were looking for–no worries
about this being one of those pages that changed after the other site started linking to it.
But if the link promised no. 72 primate wrenches, you’d air let down if it brought you to the
homepage of a hardware store. Acquaintance tells you the store might accept stopped selling no. 72 primate
wrenches continued ago and never bothered updating its inbound links. Acquaintance again tells you that even
if the site does accept what you’re looking for, it may be added agitation than it’s worth to acquisition it. Why
search buttoned up a website when search results from the entire apple wide interlacing are aloof a click of the
“back” button away?
Thanks to the “back” button, on the interlacing, no one has to air let down for continued. Except advertisers who
let visitors down.
