The problem with blogs is that they are time based. You write a post, it appears on the homepage and then overtime it is replaced by more recent posts and is sentenced to the black hole of your archive.

Admittedly somebody might stumble across the post via a search engine. However, generally speaking it has vanished.

This is a shame for a couple of reasons. First, it maybe a great post. The world should know if it is. Second, it means users only ever see one or two pages of your blog and are gone. Not what you would call a sticky site!

Well, I was yet another guy who contributed to his high bounce rate and I can imagine most of the people from GFY who clicked through to the article did the same. That tells you one thing - that post is full of advice that won't make significant impact.

I’ve been using tools he’s suggesting and came to a funny conclusion – tools will do you little good. Some audiences simply stick with their preferred sites they religiously visit every day, the others they may read one article at a time, but won’t browse much of the rest on your site during the same session. I have a blog with the same theme and same plugins that caters to one niche and has a bounce rate of 75%. Then I have another blog using the same theme and same plugins yet bounce rate is at 29%. Different niche appeals to different demographics and each type of audience is different.

To sum it up – this article is just like most of “webmaster” articles. Useless but it’s an avenue to get more visitors cause what else is a webmaster to do/ Just keep writing on all possible topics and the traffic overtime builds up.
