Bounce rate is all about traffic analysis. It is defined as the amount of time spent on your website, how many activities were done by the visitor. Bounce rate is calculated by counting the number of single-page visits and dividing that by the total visits. It is then represented as a percentage of total visits.
When trying to generate traffic knowing your bounce rate is very important because it shows you how well your content is doing. If your contents are engaging, solving issues and giving out pieces of information visitor needs and are searching for.
Your bounce rate is calculated by how much time and activity a person does spend when they visit your website. When visitors visit your website and leave without performing any action like clicking on the links, images, sharing, buying i, terms, or taking a survey.
If you are a marketer then knowing your bounce rate is very important because a high bounce rate impacts your revenue and business in general.

Let me start by encouraging everyone in Nigeria who uses Twitter for business to stay positive and strong. Buhari and his thug followers will not bring us back to a military regime.
If you are in Nigeria and you own a Twitter account you might be hearing a lot about using VPN to connect to your Twitter account.

A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks.

But videoconferencing isn’t always easy. The kids climb on you, the dog barks, there’s background noise … you get the idea. I’ve had some embarrassing moments and made plenty of mistakes, but I’ve learned a few things along the way. Here are my tips for successful videoconferencing from home. (Got more tips? Mention @gsuite on Twitter.)
Tip #1: Choose the right environment
When I want to talk through a complex issue or brainstorm ideas, video calls are more efficient than chat or email. They also help me get to know teammates in different time zones. But when you're on a call, give some thought to what’s around you, such as the backdrop (choose a plain wall, and avoid windows that will provide too much backlight), and if you have a laptop, put it somewhere steady. I once did an entire video call with my laptop on my … well, lap—and at the end, the other participant told me that the subtle wobbling of the screen was extremely distracting.
Read in between lines
Some bloggers do not get the best out of articles shared to improve their blog because instead of taking time to read and understand what the writer has written before the solution, they go straight to the solution hoping to get the best. Most times it all ends up in getting a poor result. Writers who teach a particular skill tend to share important tips/pieces of information before sharing the answer to what you are looking for that gives you a clear and wider insight on how to use that content and channel it in the right direction.

Multiple tab opening promotes improper reading and anxiousness
When you search on google about a particular topic, and all the possible solution to what question you are searching for comes up, don't open more than one tab at a time from the search result. Opening lots of tabs make you read in a not detailed way. It makes you read really fast, you jump into the next article and sometimes you end up not getting the best solution. Find the topic that best suits what you are looking for and read through properly. If you are not getting what you need close that tab before opening another one. It helps reduces anxiousness, this is a very practical reading solution.
Use your google dictionary
Don't rush the article, check the meaning of words that you are not familiar with. Quickly use google dictionary or Wikipedia to search for the meaning of any word you don't understand or know the meaning.
Click on those links
I know some website insert too many links while trying to give out needed information but believe me in between lies the answer to what you are looking for. Click on the links and read the articles also. Remember, no knowledge is lost and it is a win-win situation.
The comment section has solutions
Check the comment section. Read through the comments to see if anyone was able to get a solution from the article shared. If they left their website link or any form of contact. Contact them and find out more.
Test before sharing
When you read about a subject or blogging solution make sure you have used it practically before sharing it to your audience. There are lots of empty contents online about getting traffic and we just happen to click on it each time we search on google about how to generate traffic because they used the right keywords.
There is always a free solution shared by somebody online, all you need to do is carefully read and apply what you have read to get results.
Have a lovely week.

So we all know that traffic is one of the biggest targets of a blog or website owner. This is a major challenge for so many bloggers and we can all relate to it. Ever since google plus shut down, it's been a bit difficult to find a similar open free platform with high traffic that you can easily share your articles on. I went ahead and began to search if I can find a platform like/similar to Google plus because I used Google plus a lot and it worked really well for me, same with other bloggers. There are lots of social and article sharing platforms to share your articles and blog posts on but none can ever be as good as Google plus. Google plus has been shut down but it was indeed a very brilliant platform.
Google plus was open to everyone and it had a high Seo ranking. We didn't need to log in to view or access articles and all shared articles were also linked to top search engines. There was also a setup for automated share, immediately you share your blog post it automatically shares on google plus and since it was a busy platform the articles kept receiving lots of views daily. Now it's gone and people are searching for a better platform to share articles. Instagram isn't the best place to share an article, that isn't even the purpose of Instagram, it is more a photo app and marketing platform so you need to have a very high influence to be able to get a good number of clicks. Meanwhile, Instagram doesn't open your website on a browser it opens directly on Instagram so I doubt if the traffic coming from Instagram actually counts.
Factors are limiting the traffic gain to your blog and these are the factors you need to put into consideration and correct.
Be your number 1 content promoter: Some bloggers find it difficult to share their articles. The competition in the google ranking market is so high and you have to do your best to get your articles to the right audience. What's the aim of writing an article that won't get to the right audience? Getting traffic means putting much effort into sharing your content. You are the boss of the content and so share as many times as you can. Encourage your friends to share your articles on any social platform they are registered on.
Understanding the reason why your website has little or no traffic is a step to solving your poor traffic issue. Share as many times as you can to different social platforms. Joining good social platforms is very important. Some platforms do not permit direct sharing but instead, they ask that you submit the article for review before it is published. If you have to do that make sure you insert lots of clickable links that will re-direct readers back to your website.
Copywrite is a killer: Write your article and always check for Plagiarism. If you copy and paste the content that doesn't belong to you or let us just call it what is it, steal content you are harming your blog or website searchability. Write original content, be creative with your words, and post title. Most people in the blogging business share fashion tips and lifestyles but there are lots of topics yet to be shared. Do not underrate the title of your article, write it down as it comes. It should be unique so when readers visit your blog they read a catchy post title that makes them click on the next post.
Be patient, you are doing just fine. Be informed that traffic grows with time and that is why your choice of word is very important. In other words, using unique searchable words, catchy descriptions, top-ranking keywords, top trendy topic searches, following seasonal trends is totally required to influence the traffic drive to your blog over time. Some articles do not skyrocket immediately some take time and then boom it's receiving thousands of views per day. These are seasonal articles.
Copycat blogger: There are lots of copycat bloggers. It is not wrong to copy the writing style of another blogger as far as you aren't hurting anyone but what happened to be unique? Learn from others but create space for creativity. Some bloggers tend to copy the writing style of another blogger but what you don't know is that sometimes it is better to be original at grade one than appear to be in grade 2 without a proper clue as to what you are doing there. People want to visit your website and read your articles and feel the authenticity of it, not when they read your article it feels similar to another blog they always visit.
Share your article on different social platforms: Monitor the structure of a platform before joining and sharing your article. When you join a social platform or before using any social media platform to share your article, always understand the structure of that social platform and how it works. Monitor usage preference such as do people share more travel content here? is this a DIY network? or a general platform for sharing just any kind of article? This helps you share the right article to the right audience who will, in return, click to view the shared article, thereby increasing your traffic.
Note: Posting regularly increases your traffic.

Here are different social platforms to join that will help increase your traffic.
*Pay good attention and read carefully*.
Medium: Before joining a social platform read about it and check how many visitors it gets in a month. I don't advise joining platforms that have premium and free versions. I joined medium for free even tho it has its premium version but I realized that the content about (HOW NZU AFFECTED MY SKIN AND MENSTRUAL CYCLE) which I shared on the medium platform is still generating views back to my website.
Feedspot: Feedspot features all websites and blogs in one place. It rates and ranks blogs from a particular country. For example, if a brand is looking for bloggers from Nigeria, feedspot shows a list of all the bloggers available and registered on their platform making it easy for bloggers to get reached out by brands.
For traffic, feedspot comes in handy in search that patterns people searching for blogs/bloggers/websites from a particular location. Feedspot also automatically shares your content. It shows your post frequency, how many articles you share in a week. You can add your blog, tho it also has a premium version.
Note: You have to request to add your website or blog. You can add your blog under any country of your choice. For example, look at Top 50 blogs in South Africa.
Here is a picture showing how you can add your blog.
Me.we.com is a social platform for sharing different articles. It is just like Facebook.
There are open and closed groups you can share your article with. I just started using it.

Late last year, google+ announced that they will be shutting down due to lack of funds and activeness. They sent emails to different users using the google plus comment platform. At first, it was a pretty active platform with lots of groups created connecting millions of people. Google plus wasn't so active anymore, and decided to shut down which I think will help google focus more on updating blogger to have a better optimization and updated usage.
Why your comments are missing?
Google plus sent emails with download links giving everyone the opportunity to download your database from google plus and stating that If you've used Google+ for comments on your own or other sites, this feature will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and other sites by March 7th. All your Google+ comments on all sites will be deleted starting April 2, 2019. Learn more
READ THE FULL ANNOUNCEMENT: YOUR PERSONAL GOOGLE+ ACCOUNT IS GOING AWAY ON APRIL 2, 2019.
PS: I changed my comment system from google plus to blogger last year when I saw the message and all google plus comments are no more visible on my blog. You can not get back your comments. All you need to do is continue from here using the blogger comment system or any other commenting system you choose to use. It's so sad and hard but within months your website will look interactive again.
What to do
Simply change back to blogger commenting system if you haven't.
Note: that all your google plus comments will be lost and have already been deleted doesn't matter if you change or not, it doesn't exist anymore.
Step 1
How to change back to blogger comment system:
Currently the option to choose between blogger commenting system and google plus comment system is no longer available on your blog setting. Google has automatically updated every blogger user platform to blogger comment system. By April 2 2019, every detail about google+ will be removed. It is a process so if your comments are disappearing at the moment google plus is still clearing off the database and it will be completed on the 2nd of april and google plus will no more be in existence anymore.
Go to your blogger settings
You will notice that the options to choose between commenting the systems is no more available. So kindly change and remove all google plus widgets.
