At my website www.freebunch.com I have a relatively high amount of visitors leaving before they get to explore my website. I am guessing 35% is a high number? Most visitors enter via google and enter the website through a arcade related keyword search. Any ideas why this number is so high?
I wouldn't say it looks ugly, but it doesn't look like something I would spend a lot of time on personally. Try changing the background colors of each area, an overall change of color/theme should help solve your problem. EDIT: I went in and clicked on a couple of links and the page the brought up were blank. You might want to check this out for those that do explore your site, this could be another potential run off for people.
user generally leaves if content does not attract him or content is irrelevant check keyword and your contents and make it interesting for user
I also notice the blue color contrast of your site's template is not eye friendly. IMHO, a template overhaul might do good for your site.
You need to improve your design, its looks like 90's design...n also check visitor is relevant to content
The blue background and the white text does not make for a good color combination. I recommend some kind of off white background color and then back text. Maybe do a way with the three column layout and go with a 2 column - that way people do not have to look all over the place to find stuff.
I wouldn't say it is high... Anything above 50% is too high. 35% isn't bad.... I'd suggest working on differentiating your design. The middle column somewhat distinguished from the sidebars you know?
The design of the site is not bad but yet need to improve by adding goodlooking color schemes and attractive template.The appearence of the site is important and make the content relevant and interesting that will make visitors to stand on your site.
I'll take a look at the colour scheme. I don't dare changing the entire layout - Last time i did i lost 500 UC/s a day due to lower google ranking :\ Thank you for all the replies, much appreciated
I would recommend adding a few more pictures for the games and customizing some colors and making it look a little more user friendly and you should be fine
It is very busy but perhaps a good strong call to action in the top right hand corner of the header explaining "what's in it for me" (the visitor that is). Find your unique selling point - get into the headspace of the visitor - make it clear in a few words WHY someone should stay on your site.
