    Hi

    Most of my blogs have good traffic but the bounce rate on them is around 75 percent which is quite high. I want to improve my bounce rate. So please suggest me some ways to improve bounce rate. I'm open to all kind of ideas..

    So please share your thoughts about it

    Maybe people only come to your site to read the latest post? If this is the case, you can set up your blog so that only a small excerpt is shown on the homepage, and the visitor needs to click in order to get the full article.

    The other explanations can be that your site has the wrong set of keywords, thus bringing to your site people who aren't interested in what you have to offer. Or your site might be poorly written or ugly, thus people will only want to get away fast.

    You need to identify the real problem (if there is one) and tackle it.

    The biggest offenders responsible for a high bounce rate are:
    1. Too many ads.,,,if readers are met with ads right away (Before the content), pop ups, or any other kind of misdirection or "floating" things.

    2. Bad or amateurish design. If it looks like a spam blog, default theme that millions of other blogs have or looks like it was designed by a 5 year old.

    3. Poorly written...Improper English (or what ever language), misspellings, punctuation, and so on.
