Use Video to Reduce a Websites Bounce Rate

Posted by David Hobson | Posted in Misc | Posted on 10-07-2008  

What is Bounce Rate? simply put it is the percentage of visitors to your website that leave from the page they landed on without viewing any other page on your website. A high rate generally means that your websites content is not what your visitors are looking for.

One way of reducing the bounce rate of your website is to link to relevant posts on your website. This reduces your bounce rate by getting your visitors to click on other pages of your website to view more content that they are interested in.

A high bounce rate, such as a 60% to 65% rate, is cause for worry. That means most of your visitors don’t find anything interesting enough in your site to hold their attention. If you can keep them in your site and entice them to view more pages, you’ll be able to raise your site’s performance and decrease its bounce rate.

Or to get more eyeballs stuck to your site, you can post videos on your site. Indeed, anything visual can be more appealing than a bunch of text on a site, no matter how compelling the message of that text is. It’s human nature to be more glued to images than texts.

Apart from helping to decrease your bounce rate videos also have other benefits.

  • Show of your products functionality.
  • Creates a buzz in marketing your product
  • Helps build your marketing list.

So how do you make the most of these benefits of using videos? Learn how to use videos to make your Internet marketing efforts more fruitful:
