Best Way To Reduce Bounce Rates?
 

Going through my stats I am seeing a big increase in bounce rates over the past three months. Besides discovering the cause for this I'd like to improve overall bounce rates anyway. So:

What are some tried and true techniques for decreasing a website's bounce rate?

Thanks in advance. :thumbsup

Try HTML image trick, where everytime when user click on image, it open new html page with centered image and navigation menu

Let more air out of the ball?

It worked for Tom Brady, ya know?

I am suspending you four games for that comment Sir. :D

Have engaging content and a smooth user flow.

Put in a warning page... :upsidedow

And make it a never-ending scroll? :D

As long as there's huge text with bright flashing colors saying "Click HERE!"

Convince people that if they leave the site they are going to die

op dont talk anymore lol. jeezus you are clueless

Thanks for your always useful input.

mostly you can adopt any solutions from non-adult website to adultwebsite - search for some seo blogs and look for tips :

Cool thanks!

But doing some research? C'mon now, that would require an effort. :D

15 years ago a good idea to reduce the bounce rate was loaded jpg line by line on the modem - anybody remember this?

Use a font size of at least 14 :2 cents:

I added an adult content warning and that significantly increased the bounced rate my one of my sites.

It is hard to tell, maybe post the url of the site so we can go and check it out.

Warning page
Exit modal

Actually a simple Warning Page will reduce bounce rate by a mile.

Do you know what a bounce is?
A bounce is someone coming from Google visit your site and goes back to Google.
The bounce rate is 100%. Your page does not engage.

To reduce the bounce rate give away all your content. If the bounce rate is still high, your content sucks. :upsidedow

Provide good and interesting content....no tricks needed.:thumbsup

The most important question is what is the source of the traffic? If you are really serving what people are looking for, there should be no problem.

that means a lot of text and a video that will take some time to load. This shouldn't be a problem if you are getting traffic from SE, but if there are some other sources like buying traffic or spamming and popups then I don't have a clue.

Maybe someone will find this valuable

Any good recommendation for a warning page / popup script?

I know exit intent popup scripts like Exit-intent-popup. Maybe it´s good to reduce the bounce rate, but that´s not a real warning...

You just need to have what your visitors are looking for. Add hot and interesting content matching your main keywords.
