It is the dream for each and every person who owns a website to get ranked higher on Google as it will increase their visibility.

Make sure the ads don’t seem too crazy or dilemmatic.

“Aren’t the contents on the website getting a little old?”, You might have asked yourselves this question a couple of times. Taking the effort to check and clarify whether the contents are up to date will surely help your website to decrease the bounce rate.
Your website is ranked as a whole by Google and not as single individual pages. Hence updating every single page of your website would obviously result in a positive boost.
But then also, updating all the pages on a website and is a complex and time-consuming task. So what you have to do is- Update the pages that had been receiving a good amount of traffic and remove the rest from the website!

- Automatically generated content:
Google seems to have very little or no interest in low-quality content and is inclined to bring down websites having those in SERP. Contents that are produced programmatically according to a particular set of rules are called automatically generated content. What makes them detested is less human involvement and the presence of unoriginal content.
If your site remains as NOT “user-friendly” because of the automatically generated content, it is less likely for Google to favor your site.
- Pages with thin content:
Pages with thin content tend to be not ranked by Google as pages with more meaningful and “info-inclined” content seems to what Google prefers.
Answering any questions or queries in mere 200 words are considered to provide little or no information to the users and hence remain incomplete and useless.
Google will not find it very interesting to rank your website if it contains already repeated content only.

- Update your page and convert it in such a way that it possess in-depth ‘first hand’ info.
- Redirect the users to another page wherein the required information in-depth is provided.

- Try to add ‘exit pop-ups’ so that it won’t disturb the customer experience. They won’t be very much offended of an exit popup as compared with the others.
