How can I reduce my high bounce rate?
-
I've recently upgraded to a WP site but i have a very high bounce rate. It is typically 75-80% and recently I saw a 95% bounce rate. I found part of the issue was I neglected to change the urls for my adwords acct but I did that weeks ago and its still very high. Last week, for 1 day only i had 18% but it shot back up when I made some code changes that didn't pan out as expected. The site is an online store and is www.cheaptubes.com
I really need to fix it. my business is severely hurting. Any and all ideas are appreciated.

I've made some recent changes to adwords. Periodically google calls me up to review my adwords. Ultimately it is my responsibility but somewhere along the way the recommended spending more on display and some of the categories weren't the best choice. I think I've been creating my own spam traffic somewhat. Someone reviewed my site and recommended I institute remarketing on search, reallocation of the budget to favor search, and to pause some text display ads that were driving low quality traffic. I hope it helps

The key factor is landing page experience. Landing page experience is poor = high bounce rate.
Whatever your customer thought they were clicking through to - the vast majority did not find. Do you want customers to find you for "carbon nanotubes" - if so what is the customer trying to answer when they type that query in...?
I would also suggest a proper technical audit. https://moz.com/blog/technical-site-audit-for-2015 You have code displayed on the bottom left of your home page.
Hope that assists.

Hi Matt - I guess its both. I mainly look at my yoast analytic but google analytic says I have a70% bounce rate. I did recover my search engine rankings, for instance for graphene nanoplatelets I am # 4 in organic search. Most of my keywords I am on the 1st page of organic results for

Hi there! Just checking, are you referring specifically to your AdWords bounce rate? Or your bounce rate in organic search? Or both?

Bounce rate high because customer login on different domain
Years ago we switch domain names for our site for almost everything except the client log in portal. Now we are experiencing really high bounce rates because site visitors will go to our site and then click on the client log in portal which takes them off our domain and on to our old domain. Because of this our bounce rate is around 80% and I know this is negatively effecting our traffic. Is there any way to fix this without switching the domain for the client log-in portal? Thanks for everyone's help!

Bounce Rate Spike Overnight - Did anyone else notice this?
Hello Moz Community, Starting August 12th, 2015, my overall website traffic bounce rate spiked literally over night and I am trying to figure out why? My traffic increase rate remained the same.

My time on page actually nearly doubled.
but my bounce rate shot up from 9% to 82%. This is the same issue for almost every page in my 500+ page website. My bounce rate in every page was always below 14%. And literally over night on August 12th, the bounce rate skyrocketed. Did something roll out around that time?
Does anyone else have this same issue that would be kind enough to share some insight?0 -

Can you track "Add to home screen" for ios devices?
I was curious to know if there was a way to track in analytics users "adding to home screen" on ios devices. With the new ios map not receiving so much love and google maps "web app" process getting more attention, I feel knowing this stat would help us decide if we really need a native app or not. Our customers don't normally return within the year and when they do its about 2-3 (normally on a desk top), To us it does not completely justify the idea of making a native app with the world being so app heavy now a days. Any thoughts are always appreciated.

What is a Achievable SEO Growth Rate?
Hi Mozzers, I have a question for you today. What is the achievable SEO growth rate (non branded SEO) for a typical job portal style site if you are also taking into consideration there is a blog with a lot of useful content being produced on a daily basis? How has your SEO growth rate been? Is it normal to think that the non branded traffic can grow by 1000 visitors or more a day each month? if I hit 1000 visitors per day this month, then 2000 visitors per day next month, 3500 visitors per day the month after that and so on? I know it's difficult to give numbers like this. Assuming it's a 1000 visitor growth, that mean it's a 50% or more SEO growth each month. it will be interesting to know how your growth rate has been. Thank you.

Where can I find research into consumer behavior in URL input?
I have a hypothesis that the % of users that type URLs is decreasing. Instead I think users will be arriving at sites by clicking on links in emails, search and social. Where can I find data / research to back me up?
