Common Reasons for a High Bounce Rate Have you ever heard of a saying that goes along the lines of, “The best way to solve a problem is by getting rid of the source”? The first thing you should do to reduce your bounce rate is eliminate any common reasons for a bounce rate. - Too Many Ads Advertisements are a common way of getting revenue from a SEO blog, however, they are a common reason for high bounce rates as well. A few advertisements here and there are perfectly fine, because many Internet users realize that advertisements are a necessary evil, yet too many advertisements make a blog look spammy. Avoid having the advertisements too close to the navigation bar. Some people do not mind too many ads, but they do mind them when they continue to accidentally clicking on them due to being too close to the navigation bar. If you simply cannot reduce the amount of advertisements on your blog, try to have most of them below the fold of your blog. The fold of a blog is the portion you can see without having too scroll down. Too many advertisements in the fold makes the website look like it is entirely composed of ads, and the user has to do a lot of scrolling to get to the content of the blog. - Too Slow When you load your blog, do you sometimes get impatient due to the waiting you have to do? If so, the slow loading is probably contributing to your high bounce rate. Most people, who are used to the rapid speed of technology, aren’t going to wait around for a website to load when they can simply go to another website that loads much faster. Third-party content, such as widgets, make a website extremely slow, especially when there is a lot of third-party content. You can solve this by decreasing the amount of third-party content on your website, or getting rid of it completely. Thanks and Regards, Swathi Business Development Officer SEOpals freelanceguru.org/
