Hello

What causes bounce rates to go up and what can you do about it?

The bounce rate has to do with the attraction and RETENTION of visitors.

You have some control over this, of course; Make your content helpful, informative and almost above all else, entertaining!

This is done by being yourself and writing for people to read, not the search engine 'bots!

It means proper grammar, spelling and making your copy easy to read, based on the lowest possible complexity given your subject matter.

In other words, you cut down your bounce rate by keeping people there!

Thanks Mickey, that makes sense. I thought I was doing that lol. I'll have to look them over.

Here is grist for examination. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1009409

thanks for the info...

Thank you. Going to look at it right now.

Hello, WMT is showing me I have 7 articles that are missing author and update. I have googled information to see how I can fix it but I don't even know where to go to fix it.

These are very common errors that almost every site experiences (mine included). They do not affect your rankings at all and shouldn't be of much concern.

However, if you want to learn more about these errors and how to fix them, I would suggest you go through the training below which was done by our LIVE video coach. Jason

Thank you Jason.

You're welcome, Angie :) I hope it helps!

That wasn't helpful to me but thanks.

No problem, Angie.

I did some more digging around and saw the following blog post thread related to the problem you are having: Go through it carefully and refer to the link that @PatsyC shared within the comments. They might help.

Here are the links and I also attached a screenshot if there is any confusion. Jason

Thanks Jason that was exactly what I needed. She's a very smart lady she understands where someone who doesn't know tech stuff is coming from. I have done as she recommended so time will tell.

:) This sounds very good, Angie. As you say "time will tell", so let's see what happens.

Should I have "Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page" checked

Hi Angie,

They need to be off. Here is a blog post I wrote on it.
Make sure you check your pages and posts that they are not on.

Thank you Patsy.

You are welcome :)
