Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the quick response, can you give me a little bit more information please?

Which program from Majestic are you using and how?

One of my competitors has recently got a surge of links and I need to work out where they've been focusing their efforts to make sure I don't get left behind.

The only method I've really got at the moment is looking at saved reports from OSE and trying to find new links between them. This is obviously time consuming and has some odd results (Old content showing up only on newer reports for example and  have to ensure that each weeks report is generated exactly the same).

What I really need is a weekly output of where 2 or 3 websites have been gaining links. Can anyone recommend any tools that can help me with this?

Thanks

Thanks for your time Hash.  We will digest all of this information and will certainly try the testing that you suggest

Actually I didn't, My query is about a a specific subset of my pages getting a higher bounce rate. Unless you can think of a reason why these terms are getting hit harder by a dislike of my domain name than other much more competitive terms it really has no bearing.

I would love to get your input, however harsh, on the question I asked however.

We are working on a brand new design at the moment, and that Fivesecondtest site looks really good, thanks for the heads up

We've got a redesign coming soon but I was eager to get opinions on this issue first.

Any Idea why the bounce rate would be much higher on these few pages than the rest of the site?

Thanks. The question however is why would that impact these specific pages significantly more than the rest of the site?

Thanks for the point about the pricing, I'll certainly see what I can do about that.

I agree on the market shopping but it's not quite the issue. Most people, from what I can tell, will want to know what type of cartridge suits their printer. They hit up the search term with the model of the printer and from my page or others they get back the actual name of the cartridge their printer takes. They then Google that and start shopping.

I don't see this (directly) as an issue, I'm doing my best to optimise for brands of cartridge so with a bit of luck I'll get the % of customers I deserve through that. What I'm concerned about is Google nudging me down for having huge bounce rates.

The domain name shouldn't impact some results more than others though right? If there was an "ewww" factor (my research prior to setting up back in '02 indicated there wasn't) surely it would be fairly broad over all terms and I'm just not seeing that.

It could be the re-filling ink issue but on a couple of the affected pages we do stock ink re-fills so I doubt it.

It's well above the average for the website. Other pages that target a specific printer also have very high (70%+) bounces.
