People said that my website, [url]http://linksku.com/[/url] looked spammy, so I redesigned it about 2 weeks ago. My bounce rate was about 80%, now it’s about 70%, which is still very high. Also, I’m only getting about 100 visitors a day. What should I do to increase traffic? I think my idea’s very good, but the visitors can’t tell what my website’s for, and they leave.
@regansNov 22.2011 — #At this moment, seems like your site doesn't load correctly - I can only view a header where I can scroll the original article. Have you optimized the site for IE? (8 in particular)
As a general thought, try making the site's purpose more visible and enhance the features of the homepage. Actually, it's amazing that a piece of news got 449K likes in only 14 hours, so that's a thing to display, the exact time the article was released, in order for the readers to get the big picture. Also, more refined topic cathegories would do fine.
@linkskuauthorNov 23.2011 — #I might redirect the homepage to news.linksku.com instead
I tried the site in IE8, it seems that there's a problem with Yahoo's ads (try some of the other news article that aren't from Yahoo).
The exact time is a good idea, thanks!
The main problem with my site is that once the user arrives at my homepage, he/she doesn't know what to do, and leaves my site. What can I do about this?
