Trick to Increase Page Views & Decrease Bounce Rate

July 22, 2010 by Amit Bhawani

Bloggers always have a problem with the Bounce rate which is normally in the range of 60-80% on an average and in order to decrease this you can always implement many different ways. In this article we will recommend you one useful wordpress plugin which not only decreases the bounce rates, increases the page views but also gives your blog a nice look because the plugin’s main job would be to display related articles along with a thumbnail.

LinkWithin is a useful WordPress plugin which should be implement by bloggers for increasing the visitors time on your website and the page views count. To get started you will have to enter your Email address, Blog URL, The platform you are using like WordPress, Blogger, TypePad etc and the Width which is the number of stories you would like to display below the posts. Normally this can range between 4-5 stories. Next click on the Get Widget option which would offer you a file to download and upload to your WordPress Plugins folder , followed by activation from your Dashboard.

Related Posts Thumbnails Linkwithin

You can configure the plugin to display the related posts with thumbnails only on Single posts only and hide from the homepage. From one view it looks like the Bounce Rate would actually increase because all these thumbnails are redirected through linkwithin website and the visitor within a seconds period is back to your related post, making the Google Analytics show this as a increase in Bounce Rate, though in real your Pageviews are going to increase along wth the visitors activity on the website and chances of them subscribing to your blog.

    I tried LinkWithin few months ago, though i found it a nice plugin as it adds a nice related posts section with images, but there was one problem with it, It does not directly link to your site’s page. I am not sure but this kind of links (redirection) might not be beneficial for a blog from SEO perspective.

    I don’t think LinkWithin will decrease bounce rate. As Shahab khan stated above, it uses redirects. When you click the link, first it goes to LinkWithin site (that is a bounce), then redirects to your blog.
