Hmm. Shouldn't it also be relevant be whether your bounce rate increased at all? I would expect that on a high traffic site, if you put a link to buy something

I would expect that on a high traffic site, if you put a link to buy something, someone, somewhere is going to buy it.
The analysis I would want to do is whether the visitors lost through an obtrusive link is worth the sales you get from said link? In your case, I can't see it affecting bounce rates etc much at all, but that model of thinking ends up with a page 90% full of google adsense boxes and a tiny blog post in the middle...
- jgrahamc 16y agoSo, that's a good question. For a quick analysis here's the month by month bounce rate of my site: Jan 85.59% Feb 87.05% Mar 89.24% Apr 82.35% May 86.19% Jun 89.00% These links were introduced in June. The problem is this is for a blog. Inevitably people come and read a single blog post and leave. Not sure I'm going to learn much from this analysis.
- paraschopra 16y agoUse a different method of measuring bounce: time spent on site. Getclicky.com uses it as a method and I wholeheartedly agree with that metric.
