Why is my blog’s bounce rate high on specific posts?
High bounce rates on certain posts might occur due to irrelevant content, poor formatting, or unmet reader expectations.
If specific posts have a high bounce rate, readers might not find them relevant or engaging. Analyze the search intent behind the targeted keywords—are users looking for a quick answer, in-depth content, or something else? Formatting can also affect engagement; long, unbroken paragraphs may be off-putting, so use headings, bullet points, and images to make the content scannable. Additionally, ensure that the content meets the title’s promise, as unmet expectations can lead readers to leave immediately. Optimizing content for relevance and readability can help lower bounce rates on high-exit posts.
