How I Reduced My Bounce Rate From 70% to 1.26% Within 4Days

I am sure that you would like to know how I effectively reduced my bounce rate from 70% to 1.26% within 4 days…

Getting traffic from Google is what many (if not all) bloggers and webmasters are focusing on. Because once you start getting organic traffic, you don’t have to bother much about other means of driving traffic to your blog. And as we know – Google is one of the power houses of web traffic generation

.

But do you know that once you start getting organic traffic to your blog, your bounce rate will start increasing in a rapid way (except if controlled properly). And when your bounce rate reaches from 70 to 100% you are likely to lose your organic traffic gradually.

How I Reduced My Bounce Rate From 70% to 1.26% Within 4Days

I was at Adrienne’s blog sometime back – she shared a link to a post on how we can effectively reduce our bounce rate to its minimal. First I went to the blog, then I did some research myself to know if the code can cause harm to my blog. To my surprise, Google did approve such method of reducing our bounce

. If you still doubting, here is a post from Google analytics

I implemented the code on my blog, and voila! My bounce dropped down from 70% to 1.26% in just some days letter (like a week+

) [See Screenshot]

So today, we shall be adding a simple code to our blog to help our blog with our bounce rate issue. Believe me – if you have not implemented it, you should do it now…

The Code:

 <script type="text/javascript">

&nbsp;

var _gaq = _gaq || [];

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-1']);

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

&nbsp;

setTimeout(function() {

window.onscroll = function() {

window.onscroll = null; // Only track the event once

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'scroll', 'read']);

}

}, 5000);

&nbsp;

(function() {

var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;

ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);

})();

&nbsp;

</script> 

What’s the code for?

Well I don’t want to bore you with how and how it works, so I’ll just give it to you straight… The basic idea of the code is that you manually trigger a tracking event after a period of time. Simple, right?
