A few weeks back, I wrote my Entrecard Review. If you're an Entrecard user, then your bounce rate is probably through the roof and on into the heavens.
I am an Entrecard user, and my bounce rate is not so high. In fact, my bounce rate has actually lowered 10% in the past week because I have done one simple thing. I have offered a reason for people to stay on video blogging tips!
Why "don't drop and run" doesn't work.
Have you ever seen the image, "Don't Drop and Run?" No offense guys, but this makes me want to get out faster. "Don't Drop and Run," is another way of implying, "Nobody cares to read what I have to say. If you could please just click a few pages on my site and maybe leave a comment, that'd be great. It'd also give me at least a little faith that people actually care to read what I have to say."Give your readers reasons to stay!
If you're an Entrecard user especially, you can lower your bounce rate by making little special offerings and placing them right under your Entrecard widget. Instead of "Don't Drop and Run," the following quotes seem a lot more interesting and effective when it comes to lowering your bounce rate.
Instead of saying, "Don't Drop and Run," say something like:
- "Win 100 bucks! Click Here!"
- "Get a higher page rank! Click Here!"
- Miley Cyrus Bathing Suit? Click Here!"
- Barrack Obama is a Rapper? Click Here!"
Lower Bounce Rate Guarantee.
I almost guarantee your bounce rate will lower after doing what I have just told you. I have found that being successful online means benefiting your reader in as many ways as you can possibly imagine. In order to do this, you sometimes have to put yourself in your readers shoes. Would you rather:- "Not drop and run?"
- Or stay for a chance to win 100 bucks?

Agree with you. Some people blame the high bounce rate on Entrecard while actually it is their content and marketing way that should be fixed.
It is refreshing to hear an Entrecarder not just blaming the droppers for their high bounce rate but instead offering sound advice on how to overcome the problem.
Make it easy for the droppers to spot your content. Good content is and will always be, the only way to keep visitors on your site.
Wiehanne and Lyndi - Exactly my point. If you have a good blog, people will come back.
For instance, I found Blogger Noob through Entrecard. Now him and I are buddies. I presume that he likes my blog, and I know that I like his. Same with Rockfuse and I.
It's just the matter making good content that will grab people's attention!
Excellent post! I find entrecard a great way to advertise, but also an avenue to find interesting blogs. I enjoy slow dropping so I can actually see what the blogs are about and whether I want come back to them.
