Bupa Bounce Brick Wall
-
Buonjourno...
Previous posts have helped me understand why I may ne geeting a uber bit time bounce rate on the home page of http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/home.aspx
The jaw dropping stats are here:http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/bupa-bounce-rate-persitscopy_zps078f30f1.jpg
What i did previously following a suspicion that links from here http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/care-homes/types-of-care/private-retirement-and-assisted-living was potentially a source of the bounce. But a tracking parameter was added but the big home page persists.
Problem of identying the source of the bounce is componded by the source via googl;e analytics being (direct) / (none). Bloody useless frankly.
Once last stab in the dar is Ive noticed the landing page for the external site is http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/home.aspx and when you select the home tab it jumps to http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk
So my question is has any one got any ideas how to reduce the uber bounce rate as illustrated here http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/bupa-bounce-rate-persitscopy_zps078f30f1.jpg
Answers on a postcard please

Targetting bad bounce-rate pages in search console
We are seeing a sharp increase in Bounce Rate on the website via Google Search Console. Is it possible to drill down and find out which pages are causing this? And if so, is it possible to find out why?

Creating a Landing Page with a Separate Domain to Control Bounce Rate
I work with a unique situation where we have a site that gets tons of free traffic from internal free resources. We do make revenue from this traffic, but due to its nature, it has a high bounce rate. Data shows that once someone from this source does click a second page, they are engaged, so they either bounce or click multiple pages. After testing various landing pages, I've determined that the best solution would be to create a landing page on a separate domain and hide it from the search engines (to prevent duplicate content and the appearance of link farming). The theory is that once they click through to the site, they will bounce at a lower rate and improve the stats of the website. The landing page would essentially filter out this bad traffic. My question is, how sound is this theory? Will this cause any issues with Google or any other search engines?

Help with a unique bounce rate problem!
My company ranks very well for the target keyword "blue link" but as it turns out Hyundai launched a new "Blue Link" service. Given that we are a much more niche offering, many of the searches for blue link are for hyundai. Because people tend to click on the first results without even reading anything, we have seen an increase in traffic as well as a huge spike in bounce rates once they realize we are not the right company. Our listing on Google is pretty clear what we are so I'm not sure how to fix this problem . . .

2. No ppc ad are running I get a futher explanation from the Google Gods: •Auto-tagging is on but cost data is not applied (learn more)
•There is a redirect in the URL
•The gclid parameter is altered or dropped from the ad
•Auto and manual tagging are being used at the same time
•Manually tagged URLs are missing a value My feeling is eMails with links to the home page are causing such I high medium (none count) Would be grateful if any SEO mozzer could offer there insights, Thanks, David0 -
Restricted by robots.txt and soft bounce issues (related).
In our web master tools we have 35K (ish) URLs that are restricted by robots.txt and as have 1200(ish) soft 404s. WE can't seem to figure out how to properly resolve these URLs so that they no longer show up this way. Our traffic from SEO has taken a major hit over the last 2 weeks because of this. Any help? Thanks, Libby

Free Article Previews (Free Registration Wall)
My site is www.optionmonster.com It has a few different areas of "Free" and "Premium" content. 1. We have a first click free program for Google visitors, where they can read the first news article in full. 2. Other visitors and subsequent news article views have a content preview, which includes headline and first paragraph of content, and then asks for a name and email address in order to consume the rest of the free news. 3. We have premium content (paid), and all of those folders are currently on our robots.txt file My questions are as follows.... a. How much content is needed in front of the "pay/reg wall" in order to still get proper juice from linkbacks/pagerank crawls b. Should I make the premium content a robots meta noindex tag, or because you can't see the article at all without logging in, is a proper place to include on robots.txt
