Bounce Rate Now You Know What It Is, How to Analyze It Fast

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011 at 8:52 pm

Your Bounce Rate is not knowing it killing your SEO efforts?

We now know what Bounce Rate is and we have taken steps to begin getting some metrics on it. Now part of the Bounce Rate solution process is to use tools to analyze what is happening on your web site. No sense in hunting at night with a blindfold on.

Bounce Rate, Do some fast Analysis

There are several tools you can use, some cost money, some don’t; but because this is an area that has serious implications on the income you can generate from your website, I would rather impart all the information I have and let you make the decision. So here goes…

Bounce Rate do you know where they’re clicking?

As I mentioned in my previous blog, I was able to see where folks were clicking and “discover” my site from my visitor’s eyes. In one case I found an optin that had a canceled form. Bingo, fix that and the potential for lowering my Bounce Rate goes up. Some other tools that will help you see some more detailed visitor page experiences are:

Crazy Egg – it costs $9/month but it will provide a heatmap like technology that will show you:

Were visitors are clicking on a page. It should be a link but it may not be.

Were visitors are spending the most time on your page. This will let you rearrange your page “real estate” so actionable items are where your visitors spend most of their time.

What links are being clicked on. This is great if you have not gotten into tagging your web page or creating different links for different parts of your website.

The link to Crazy Egg is here.

Click Tale – it has a free trial period, then starts at $79/month. Click Tale will show you, in real time, the screens of your visitors. A video will be created on how your visitors are behaving on your website. With this info you will be able to see/monitor their mouse behavior, how long they are on your site, and what actions they took. For repeat visitors you can see what and where they are most focused on, how folks interact with any forms or comment boxes or RSS subscribe buttons. The link to Click Tale (Free Trial) is here.

LiveBall – (sit down, please) LiveBall starts at $1,250/month. Breathe. This service is the premier resource for serious online marketers. This maybe a little overkill if you are using a blog to generate leads for your MLM or Network Marketing business. But as you get bigger (I believe in you), or if you really and truly run your online business via PPC or other paid forms of traffic, this is amazing in reducing your site’s Bounce Rate. LiveBall is really (and if you are at this level, welcome to my blog) for those folks with larger budgets and who are looking for insights on A/B Testing, Lead Generation, Landing Page Optimization and Production, etc. The link to LiveBall is here.

These are all some excellent choices to help you get a handle on just what is going on, on your website. They kind of go up the scale as far as cost and what they can offer. I hope you can take advantage of some of them.

Coming up next will be some of the tools you can use things you can do to get your visitor to stay and wander around your site before clicking into your sales funnel.

To whet your appetite, you see that little box that says Chat with Hunter D Williams? If that ball is green, click it and we can discuss.

And that leads me to this…
