The whole idea that most online business websites are trying to achieve, is for visitors to visit their site long enough to find the advantages offered, click on other links within the site to learn even further information, and ultimately purchase your products or services. As many of us are aware of, this is not always the case. All too often there are sites that end up having visitors who land on one of the pages of their site, only to leave so they can visit other sites. When this is the type of problem that you are experiencing, it can often be disastrous.

A ‘Bounce Rate’ is a percentage that is determined by the number of visits where visitors lands on a website, then end up leaving the site because they were not able to find information that caught their attention that made them want to stay and browse the site further. Avinash Kaushik, Google’s Analytics Evangelist describes this action as, rather than visitors visiting the site, viewing needed information, then conquering the goals they were looking to find, visitors instead come to a website, quickly see it holds nothing for them, and they leave.

It can be extremely beneficial for your company if you take the time to learn what the Bounce Rate is of your online business. The specific type of site that you have, and the type of web page that has been created at two factors that will ultimately determine the Bounce Rate. If the Bounce Rate on your site reaches numbers as high as 50 percent or even higher, then this is certainly cause to become concerned. Percentages that are this high tell you that a much larger number of visitors are leaving your site, than the amount of prospective customers that are staying.

The web analytical package of your site is where Bounce Rate information and percentages can be found, and you have the ability to filter these numbers to show detailed information on specific sources, such as partner sites, specific pages of your site, Google organic searches, and online advertisements.

What Can The Bounce Rate Of Your Site Mean?
This percentage can often reveal techniques that have been used in marketing campaigns that are not showing to be effective. It can even show low quality content that simply does not contain information that sparks interest of targeted audiences.

What Can Be Done?
Testing other alternatives that include a broader scope of ideas, page headers that are catchy, informative and interesting content, and contextual links that are relevant, are all areas that you will want to pay close attention to.

The subject line should always be considered as the space that can benefit you by selling the importance of the contents. By using 45 to 50 characters of space to write a message that grabs the interest of its readers, the recipient will then want to open the mail and find out what may be waiting for them inside.
  • The Headline – You will want the headline that you use to be exciting so your readers will want to open the letter, or click on the email.

Information that is separated with bullets also makes for easier reading on the Internet.

If you are like me and a large number of other website owners online, then you more than likely remember the good old days when you were able to bring in a whopping 2 bucks per click on a variety of different Adsense ads that you had featured on your site. Over time there began to be more and more instances of click fraud and this ultimately became a frustrating problem that ended up taking a large chunk out of the money that numerous pu blishers on the Internet were earning through their Adsense advertising campaigns. The result of this bothersome problem was that numerous advertisers began dropping the bid prices that were going out on their ads. As a direct result of this action, created an immediate reaction from Google. They in turn dramatically lowered the amount of money that could be earned by the publishers running their ad campaigns. Just sit back and imagine the unbelievable numbers in website publishers that could very easily even reach into the billions that are featuring these ads for Google on their site. The sad part is they are only getting paid a few pennies per click and there is not one thing that can be done about it because their ads have literally saturated the vast world in cyberspace.

google_adsense_logo_mainToday there are still an endless amount of individuals and companies who earn money through various ads that are placed on their websites, but one thing is for certain – there is a humongous difference in the amount of money that they earn today as opposed to the amounts of money that were earned in the past. Once the market was taken over by Google, the rest as they say is history. People feel there might be too much risk in trying new companies and there would also be a lo t of work involved in changing, so instead they learn to get used to earning twenty dollars per day as opposed to earning two hundred dollars when the ad campaigns first began.

How about trying another approach where you would not have to rely on the money that is made through advertising plans that are used through Yahoo Publisher’s Network or Adsense. If you will simply try to few steps below, you just might be surprised at the results.

  1. The first thing you need to do is to add Google Adsense to the site
  2. Now it is time to be patient and wait
  3. Next involves writing down each of the URL addresses that begin to come to your website. To benefit from getting new ones, you will simply need to keep refreshing the page
  4. Now it is time for the exciting part – Contacting the websites you have collected and convince them to purchase advertising directly from you

When businesses go through Google to place ads on various websites, not only do they end up having to pay Google for their services, but they also end up paying people like you as well. When they purchase their advertising direct, it is a benefit that can ultimately save them a tremendous amount of money in the long run.

Does This Method Really Work?

You bet it does! With just a small amount of time and effort on your part, you can literally triple the money you have been earning by adding a middleman into the equation. Simply prepare and type out a well thought out presentation email that you can use to convince various websites how you can save them money AND bring continuous traffic to their site. There is absolutely no need for you to continue settling for breadcrumbs, when you can take charge and begin enjoying a full course meal!
