In google analytics, there are some pages on my site with high page views and a bounce rate of around 50%. From what I understand, if they have a bounce rate at all that means someone is entering my site on those pages. But those pages don’t come up in google searches at all even if you copy the entire title tag of the page and do a search on it (many of the pages of the site have the same title tags). The only way to get them to come up at all is do a search on a significantly long string of text from the page, which is something that nobody would do. Also these pages aren’t linked from any adword ads. How are people entering my site on these pages?
Hi Buddy!!! This is really the secret of google ethics but we can asure from the real time effectiveness..meet again.
It will tell you in Google analytics where they come from. That's what analytics is for. Go to Content > Top content. Click the url of the page you're interested in, on the next page , where the drop-down says 'content detail', choose 'Entrance sources'
Ok I can see where they came from, but I don’t understand how they could enter my site on that specific page. For example I have a page called services.php which has 34 page views with Google as the source a and bounce rate of 50%. How are people entering services.php when it never appears on Google (it doesn’t come up in searches)
Thanks a lot magda for the help (forgot to mention that last time). But if I do a search on any of the keywords that GA has listed for that page, the page doesn’t come up at all. So how are people getting to my site with that page as the landing page (some of these keywords have high bounce rates- If a page has a bounce rate it means that people are entering the site on that page and then leaving right?)
