High Bounce Rates On Web Pages Can Hurt Your Web Pages’s SEO
As we all know, Google wants fast web page upload time and relevant content. But the grape vine now indicates that Google will soon keep tabs on and penalize web pages with high bounce rates. Some think this is good because it will eliminate fluff and web pages that fool users. Others think it is unfair because the time users spend on a web page cannot be controlled and is not 100% indicative of a web page’s content: After all, web surfers may get distracted and exit a very relevant, high-content web page simply because the movie is starting and the popcorn is hot.
What do you think? Do you think this is fair? Do you have any better solutions? And mostly, what are you willing to do about it to back up your opinion? Protest to Google?
