How to retain visitors with user experience
While arriving workplace, I check my email and then I received interesting email from Google’s blog entitled “Speeding Up: Retaining your visitors with great user experience” written by Ricardo Prada. These tips are tips about attracting more visitors, increasing your revenue potential, and attracting more advertiser budget.
I now redistribute and share this article with all of you who did not receive it.
- Tip #1: Design for the tasks that visitors complete on your site: Think about tasks on your website first and layouts second. It’s tempting to want a flashy design that exercises your CSS skills, but remember that vistors come to your site with specific goals in mind, like reading your essays, or checking out your collection of sports photos. Write down the top three tasks your users might want to accomplish on your site, and design to make those tasks quick and efficient.
- Tip #2: Use ads as potential exit paths, not interruptions: Ads should complement your site, not distract from it. The most natural place for a user to evaluate an advertisement is after they’ve completed their goals on your site. Instead of interrupting your user’s main tasks, try to offer ads as potential exit path for users who were probably ready to leave anyway by placing them at the end of completed tasks.
- Tip #3: SEO – only if it makes sense: Only do search engine optimizations that benefit your users. For example, page titles that are relevant to the page content make it easier for your visitors to understand what your articles are about. On the other hand, there are lots of sneaky strategies out there for improving search engine rank. Most of those don’t work anymore, and they might actually harm your site’s reputation.
