Best Thing to See in Google Analytics

The greatest compliment I have received as a Web designer is when I logged into Google analytics today, clicked on search keywords, and saw that customers are coming to my site by searching for these terms:

1. (mydomainname).com
2. (my domain name)
3. www.(mydomainname).com
4. (major keyword)
5. (mydomainname)

...and when I see 46% new visits. And bounce rate just above 20%.

To me, it means people love the site, and they're coming back. It means my brand has caught on. It means my traffic is not made up of random browsers, but someone who likes the content so much, they'll type my domain name into google to find it.

I'd take that over a super-SEO-optimized site any day.

good for you. keep up the good work.
cheers

 

That's what some webmaster want to happen to their site as they include their domain name along with their keyword as anchor text.

 

That is the best ... How did you do that?

 

Hope that Continues for you . I am struggling with Bounce rate in my blog.

 

Interesting. I never thought about branding. I guess having people return is the biggest complement. Well done!

 

Well done, you are doing a great job on the content
Content is the King!!!!

 

Content really is king - And, from a marketing POV, you get to be king by getting your brand name out there.

Tips:

• Make your brand easy to remember and catchy
• Professional graphics are essential - noone will take your site seriously if it looks like it was designed by someone who doesn't take their business seriously
• Have a memorable logo
• When link building, try to get others to link to your site via positive blog reviews
• Be sure you have content that people NEED

Look at your own site through the eyes of an outsider. Is your site WORTH bookmarking?

Good luck to all!

 

20% bounce rate is great! How's the average time on site?

 

fireboat, why don't you have your site in your signature here to show it to all of us?

 

how you have managed a bounce rate of 20%? thats amazing job.

 

Simple:

It's a niche site (education), but a successful one. I don't want people copying my site (making similar versions) and creating unnecessary competition.

But my advice in the previous post remains:

• Branding
• Graphics/logos
• Link building through positive blog reviews
• Easy-to-remember name and domain
• Content that people actually need/want

Also note: I have 14 sites - only one has really caught on and achieved huge traffic. The others remain small, but growing. I try to brand and market them all the same way. Now I'm just hoping the others can catch up as well.

Thought you should know. Probably item 1 -3 could be your competitor checking back at your site.

 

i am happy to see that my page on time per average visitors is 11min.. which means visitors likes my content

 

Good!!

My case is almost the same. My first 2 or 3 jeywords are my own brand keywords, and that is good

 

Way to go, care to provide your url?

 

Congrats dude, but i second 'lycos' as it's a good point though

 

My competitor doesn't provide 28,000 unique searches to the site each day.

 

congrats dude, how many searches are their for your brand? I am getting almost 300+ visitors searching my domain name
