How to keep your reader’s attention? Several visitors, page views, bounce rate are the main things which we consider while checking out analytical stats. But how do we know about how the readers are accepting the articles and the blog overall? Yes, the number of comments is a sign of how people are digesting the articles and whether they are interested or not. But another way to look at this is the average time spent on arvig webmail.
Before proceeding further, here are the steps to exclude yourself from being tracked by Google Analytics, otherwise you will get a very misleading stats if your visits are also tracked by Analytic.
How To Keep Your Reader’s Attention
Okay, so here are a few ways by which you can keep your readers busy on your blog and increase the time spent –
(1) Awesome Content
There is no substitute for this. If you have some interesting articles, readers will be glued to your blog for hours.
(2) Great Website Design
From my experience, I can say that a better-looking blog will keep a visitor for a longer time than a cheap-looking blog. Apart from the useful information, the design and looks also create a pleasant effect in the mind which keeps the user for a longer time, because he/she enjoys the view on the screen.
(3) Featured/Popular/Related Posts
I don’t think this needs an explanation. If the visitor finds a useful article, he/she will look for more such useful articles.
(4) Featured Images
Displaying some featured images from Flickr or any other source can help in keeping the visitor busy.
(5) Featured Video
Having a featured video on the sidebar is a great way to engage with the visitor. The video can be your own or any other video youtube2mp3 which provides some useful information related to your niche.
(6) Useful Resources
Providing links to some useful niche related resources and tools will keep the visitor for a longer time. Not only that, but this will also help to make them re-visit.
(7) Have a Toolbar
Having an engaging toolbar like the Wibiya toolbar which you can see at the bottom of this blog is a good way to increase the reader’s stay. Check out the toolbar yourself. View your Twitter dashboard and upload your Twitter or Facebook status.
(8) A Cool, Unique, and Playable Feature
If you can have some kind of feature on your blog with which the visitor can “play” with, then he/she would love to spend more time on your blog. This can be something related to design or I ran out of ideas.
