It all started with a hangover

Bounce Rates & SEO
How do you know when your rankings stop driving increases in leads / sales for your business?
“my rankings are the same but my business from search is down?”

Impact Analysis

Bounce Rates - Case Study
We evaluate bounce rates daily for each keyword (daily=catch problems quick)
Caught a page 1 keyword with a sometimes 80% bounce rate for a client
Homepage ranked for product search instead of product page
![Page 12: Seo Tools You Can Use Today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051311/54412aaab1af9fff4b8b464f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bounce Rates - Options
1 – Target a new page (risk = losing ranking)
or
2 – Dynamically change products on homepage based on high bouncing keywords (risk = over aggressiveness)
Showed first 3 products to match this high bouncing word group…result

Bounce Rates - Results
Ranking is still on page 1
Bounce rate for this product was cut by over 20%
Sales for his product increased 2x%
And we didn’t improve their ranking
![Page 14: Seo Tools You Can Use Today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051311/54412aaab1af9fff4b8b464f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bounce Rates – Your takeaways
1 – If you are analyzing SEO by where you rank you would never have caught this issue - analyze SEO by more than just rankings to maximize SEO efforts
2 – Trend out your bounce rates for top keyword buckets & trend conversion metrics too - impact of rank and bounce rates on conversions
3 – Take action!
4 – HINT: Scale this with GA API or your analytics providers API

Affiliates need to be taking advantage of
hot keywords

Hot Keywords
MAJOR competitive advantage
Big companies move slow
Their inability to act for mid / long tail / hot keywords =
opportunity for you

Hot Keywords
Product getting hot?
How do you rank for it?Tip: Move it up one level in the
hierarchy – possibly link from homepage in a hot product section.

Hubfinder vs. Linkdomain search
Search for sites linking to several competitors but not you (Yahoo only):
Voip phone linkdomain:competitor1.com linkdomain:competitor2.com linkdomain:competitor3.com

Hubfinder vs. Linkdomain search
Hubfinder is showing sites that are ranking for your target keyword.
Linkdomain search doesn’t have that added quality check, so expect to use a tool like SEO Quake or SEO Toolbar for firefox to export your linkdomain searches into excel.
