So ... Let's see three more tips ...

Method #4: Splitting up your long posts

Are you writing a super long posts?

Me too ... I have posts with 15,000 words ...

Which is good! Google loves long content!

But here's the thing ... A super long, 15K words article could be a bit scary at a first glance. And of course, there's the loading time ...

So is always a god idea to split up your long posts into multiple pages using the WordPress <!–nextpage–> tag in your post.

Simply go to the post editor, switch to text mode and add it wherever you want ... and your post will split into multiple pages.

Just be careful to don't trigger an adverse effect ... If you don't have a sufficient amount of content on each page, then the user might also get pissed off ...

Method #5: Using an interactive sidebar

Your sidebar can play a crucial role in increasing pageviews and reducing bounce rate.

I know ... It sounds like another cliche, but is heavily overlooked by MANY site owners ...

I wrote a short post on this ... Here it is ...

The point ... You can show your popular posts in the sidebar ... You can even customize it to show popular posts by week, month, all time ... You can also show your most recent posts only on single post pages ... You can create custom images to navigate to specific posts of yours ... You can integrate other site sections or features in your sidebar ... Etc, etc, etc ...

Each additional interactive sidebar content and/or feature is a potential new avenue that could help you to keep their attention ...

Method #6: Encouraging random browsing

Is ridiculously simple and is incredibly effective.

All you have to do is to place a "Random post" or "Explore" button in the above the fold area ... A button that will redirect your readers to random posts or content pieces on your site.

Is very easy to implement it. For example, you can use a plugin like Redirect URL To Post:

Just give it a try, and you'll see how efficient this method is ...

Conclusion

I have to close this tutorial with an important note ... Another cliche if you want ...

The best solution to increase pageviews and to reduce bounce rate is ... QUALITY content ...

And similarly, the above techniques will ONLY work if you have ENOUGH GOOD CONTENT.

But they will work!

Apply them all, create more good content, be patient and you'll see the results!

Meaning: decreased bounce rate + increased pageviews + increased session duration.

And that's it my friends!
