Quick question. I saw on twitter that you mentioned that the Shadowside had things set up, but were changed after Hino stopped writing. You said something about Junior, but were there any other things you think were supposed to be different. Genuinely curious, because I haven't noticed anything, but I'm usually not very good at noticing these types of things. (Love your blog, and I hope you have a nice day!)

Thank you! (Sorry for the slightly late response ^^;)

Well, I’m not sure if I have much to say on this, I don’t have any actual background information of course, there’s just a bit one can read into it.

It’s gonna be a bit long, so I’m putting it under a read more.

-

The first episode is written by Hino, and in it we see some set ups that don’t really get picked up much afterwards.

-

One simple example is actually that Movie 4 and the PV for the first episode still used the OG tribes, Charming, etc, but by the time the first episode came out, the Charming symbol on Jibanyan’s arc was changed to Mononoke, from the new system. This means at that point, the new tribe system was just getting invented, and it also indicated Shadowside was kinda suffering from the fact that it was made before YKW4, so changes in mechanics like this were harder to implement.

I feel this is prolly why we don’t got tribe songs anymore, which is a real pity. Like Shadowside the anime couldnt have them, cause the tribe system was literally still being invented as the show was made, and YKW4 the game couldnt have them because well, gotta stick to what the anime did.

But thats more a mechanics thing and isnt tied directly to the narrative.

-

For a narravtive example, the first episode is mostly told from Keisuke’s perspective, and while I don’t think that has to mean he was going to be the main character at some point, it did make it seem like there was at least  the idea of more character development for him.

It made sense to start the series with him, since he has this outsider perspective, but it also sets him up as this easily frightened kid who denies the supernatural. So in the first episode, a major point for him is accepting the existence of yokai, partially through the help of his deceased friend, who has become a yokai.

The episode ends with him saying to himself “Yokai definitely exist, I know this because my best friend is one”.

And yet, immediately afterwards in the next episode, we see Keisuke trying to calm himself by singing “yokai dont exist at all”. Now, one could do something interesting here, like Keisuke fluctuating between what he wants to believe, and have some conflict with that, but

From that point on, all Keisuke ever does is be frightened as a running gag, like the once per episode rule is that he gets scared by the yokai of the week, and thats it. He gets one or two episodes, but even those dont do anything with his character.

In episode 1, Keisuke was a multi-faceted character who happened to be easily frightened and insecure. Every episode after that reduced him to the single trait of “scared”, which maybe a little bit of sass sometimes, but everyone is sassy in the YKW animes.

And then in the final episodes he gets the confidence to help out, but there isnt really much that causes it, outside of a speech from Junior, but in either case, like 50-ish episodes of 0 character focus doesn’t get undone by a tiny bit of focus at the end.

Adding to that, another interesting thing is that like, even though Bourei Banchou is literally his best friend, he never has any interaction with Keisuke again, really.

He gets summoned once in episode 5, where he is taken out in 1 hit with no lip service, and then he is summoned again in the finale as a bit of a nod, but there is no real character there.

What makes this interesting is that in merchandise, Bourei Banchou was actually shown to have a Lightside, Banchō, whom we even get to see some anime-style render of on some cards/stickers:

Considering the development of YKW4 was probably really early at this point (see the part about tribes) it’s unlikely they wouldn’ve created this design unless it was meant to be in the anime.

And when you look at him, he has very typical Yokai Watch sidekick look, doesnt he? So based on that I feel it’s likely that at some point, Banchō was meant to be Keisuke’s yokai partner, and be shown hanging around him and be an actual character and stuff.

But who knows.

One might say “well I don’t care about Keisuke, so I’m glad this didn’t happen” or something, which is a valid opinion to have, I’m just saying it seems obvious there was something dropped here.

-

Next we get the “Kaima” aspect. In episode 1, Fukurou’s dart hits a human which transforms him into a “Kaima”, which is what “Wicked Yokai” are called in Japanese, but the Japanese term has slightly different connotations, so…

Anyway, the question in hindsight is like: What the heck was that about?

This never happens again.

In episode 2 he hits the boy, but it doesn’t transform him, it shoots “evil” at Charlie the bike yokai, and Charlie turns bad.

After that he accidentally hits Jinta while trying to hit a human? And I think from that point on he either misses all the time or just hits the yokai directly.

And we never really get any explanation of what these darts even are, really.

Like, we know that supposedly it’s to look for the princess, but why?

Why does hitting humans and/or yokai with evil darts help?

One could assume make it’d awaken the Princess, but then why did he aim for what was clearly random punk jerks?

Did only Fukurou have those darts? If yes, how? And if yes, why was Shuten Douji not upset when Fukurou perished, at the very least over losing those darts?

Why did it only transform people in episode 1? In the very finale, we get people being transformed again, so I feel it maybe have at some point been tied to that, if they had a vague idea of what Soranaki was going to be yet.

But it’s clear there’s specific details that were meant to different.

Also, given what we learn later, why was Fukurou serving Shuten Douji, considering Shuten Douji’s main agenda is eventually revealed to be tied to restoring the power of the Oni Tribe, which Fukurou is not a member of.

It’s not like Shuten Douji has countless minions, he just as Douketstu and Fukurou, so I really gotta wonder why the latter is there.

-

Lastly a bit about Junior.

Now, Junior does not appear in the first episode, so this has less to do with Hino’s writing in particular, but I still think there might’ve been different intentions for Junior originally.

In the show itself, Junior is eventually revealed to have been born from pieces of Jibanyan’s body, and that’s really it. Despite this reveal, Junior doesn’t even get any major interactions with Jibanyan.

That in itself kinda feels to me like the anime writers didn’t have much of an idea of what to do with Junior, like they do with most characters.

And in any case, I really do think that originally, at some point in the production, Junior was meant to be born from Jibanyan and Whisper.

I’m not saying he was meant to be their literal baby, but I think he was probably meant to have been created in a similar manner to the show, but with parts of Whisper involved as well.

I mean, Junior’s design invokes traits of Jibanyan and Whisper alike in such a way that I have a really hard time to believe this wasn’t the intention at first.

There’s another reason I believe this, too.

Before Shadowside the anime was out, Hino showed of some early art during an “Inazuma Walker” stream, which mostly focused on Inazuma Eleven, but has some other stuff, too.

When Junior was shown, his co-host jokingly said “Well, everyone can tell this the child of Whisper and Jibanyan”, to which Hino replied “Um, it’s a bit different.”

While Hino does say that “it’s a bit different”, I also feel the co-host probably wouldn’t have made the “it’s Whisper’s and Jibanyan’s kid” joke unless there was a bit of truth to it?

But this is only speculation on my part again, I could be wrong.

Regardless of what Junior’s origin was going to be, we can also see early teasers of YKW4 showing him next to Natsume, almost like a counterpart to Whisper&Jibanyan for Nate, and Nekomata for Shin.

This makes me think that earlier on, Junior was possibly intended as Natsume’s main yokai “sidekick” or at least one of them, possibly fulfilling a role to her that would be similar to Whisper and especially OG Jibanyan.

But in the final product in both Shadowside and YKW4, Junior is more of a tag along, who doesn’t have a particular bond with any of the human characters.

-

Alright, those were just some of my thoughts, I hope this is what you were asking about?

Note that I have no idea what the behind-the-scenes of YKW looks like, this is just speculation. And even if I was right, that doesn’t mean any of this was done “behind Hino’s back” or the like. Even when he’s not writing directly, he could still be approving of any change, as far as I know.

To me it just personally felt like the anime writers couldn’t, or didn’t want to, follow up with some of the set-ups Hino made, not just story-wise, but especially characterization-wise.

Yeast Infection No More Review I was trying for an honest Yeast Infection No Additional review at 3am the other morning because if you've got had a yeast infection (Candida infection) you will grasp that the symptoms (itching especially) are enough to stay you awake all night. All I may find was various “sales reviews” while not any concrete information on whether it had been value buying. It claims to be the best Candida diet and cure on the web but then there are quite a few totally different Candida cure programs accessible. In desperation I bought it and read through concerning half of it and then I was exhausted however thrilled to possess a little bit of relief from the yeast infection symptoms. Below is my review of the Yeast Infection No More program – I am currently implementing as many of it's suggestions as I can to cure my yeast infection for good. I've mentioned things that stuck out to me in the various chapters. I use all the terms “thrush”, “candida” and “yeast” infections – it suggests that the same issue. Inside Linda Allen's Yeast Infection No Additional Book The E-Book is kind of a protracted browse with a ton of knowledge. This is the second edition and its 237 pages long. The default font is fairly huge (therefore you don't need to strain your tired eyes at 3 within the morning) and it might in all probability condense to fewer pages in a very “normal” printed size font. However it isn't a tough read. The program is written by Linda Allen. She may be a nutritionist, health consultant and former yeast infection sufferer from California. The most aim of the ebook is to erradicate yeast infections by eliminating the basis cause of the yeast infection. She doesnt promise a quick fix (although the twelve hour symptom relief set up does supply quick symptom relief). If you are not willing to alter your bad eating habits and poor diet then think twice about shopping for this ebook. It's going to take some discipline and work on your half to implement her “Candida Free Diet”. Even if you do not follow the diet though, the herbal mixes and topical relief remedies are smart to understand regarding for thrush symptom relief. Chapter a pair of : deals very well about all the various root causes of yeast infections. From bad diet to weakened immunity, she covers each concievable angle therefore you'll be able to pin purpose what the $64000 cause is of your Candida over-growth. This is crucial to treating recurring thrush. If you questioned what causes the awful Candida symptoms? Here's the solution:Candida gives off a toxic waste referred to as Acetaldehyde. This transforms into ethanol which causes many of the unpleasent symptoms you're probably familiar with, together with oral thrush, vaginal yeast infection, higher back pain, bloating, sores within the mouth, brain fog, restless leg syndrome, migrains, blurred vision and chronic athletes foot. What I found extraordinarily attention-grabbing is her reasoning about why mainstream medication and doctors will not tell you concerning natural thrush treatments. Some people could not agree together with her claims however in essence they make business sense. I like that she advocates taking note of your body, making dietary changes and taking responsibility for your health. While not doing this, you'll never get rid of the basis explanation for your recurring Candida. She even lists all the commonly prescribed pharmaceutical treatments (creams, pessaries etc.) with an explaination of how they work and their nasty facet effects. She discusses how the body gets diseased in general – terribly informative Her whole approach to yeast infection treatment is predicated on the fact that if you allow the body to conduct it's internal cleansing method of removing toxins (detoxification) together with restoring the natural balances with right nutrition, it leads to the body healing itself. Chapter three: deals with diagnosing the yeast infection. She tells regarding the numerous medical tests worn out labs and what they entail. She then offers a lengthy and detailed questionnaire and check-list of what might seem like unrelated symptoms – once again stressing the actual fact that yeast infections are badly diagnosed by main stream drugs. Chapter 4: is that the Basic 12 Hour relief treatment. (You will love this) Here is an intensive hour by hour treatment set up specified by all it's gory glory. It's visiting be messy therefore be prepared. There are some brilliant herbal wash recipes too that you can apply on an on-going basis till your symptoms are gone. You may be tempted to prevent the remainder of her arrange once your symptoms are gone but be warned that unless you dispose of the foundation reason for your recurring yeast infection, those annoying symptoms can be back. If you wish to be rid of them forever then follow the remainder of her plan. She also offers treatments for nail fungus infection – another symptom of a Candida infection Chapter five: is a Quick Results mini program for busy folks who dont have time to implement the total issue. Chapter 6: is the total anti-yeast program a five step system (Paraphrased to respect the copyright) Get your diet rightIt includes the necessary half dozen Dietary principles that are essential for being candia free Get your immune system rightAll the nutritional supplements you need to takeCleanse your SystemVery thorough body detox and cleanse pointers for all the main organs of the body. It has a detailed detoxification program and explains all concerning raw food diets, fasting, juice cleansing and the way to concentrate to your body's needs. Infact you will have a better understanding of your digestive system than some doctors do. I found the section on “How to Deal with a Healing Crisis” very useful Getting rid of parasites was a bit gross however you'll see why it's essential for curing a yeast infection. Kill The Candida Brilliant recommendations on the best products to kill the suckerGetting the nice stuff back in your bodyAll the supplements you need to induce your body back to smart working order Section 2: goes through all the opposite lifestyle factors that obliquely have an effect on yeast infection I found the section on the consequences of stess on Candida very fascinating along with her stress busting tips.The sleep optimisation arrange was conjointly terribly helpful with smart tips for higher sleep. Section 3: attracts it all along with guidelines for maintaining a “Candida Free Environment” There's an entire ton additional however I suppose you get the thought – The ebook on an entire goes into very thorough detail on each facet of candida overgrowth (yeast infection), to the purpose of being extreme. Linda goes to nice lengths to clarify in very understandable terms (laymans terms) everything you would like to understand concerning yeast infection treatment, infact you'll be a yeast infection knowledgeable by the top of the book.

“Leading Change” by John P. Kotter & “Crossing the Chasm” by Geoffrey A. Moore

I am working in the innovation world since several years now and the main difficulty I encounter is showing how things might be different and selling change. It’s the classical challenge for most innovators.

There are 2 books that probably have a special place on every innovator’s bookshelves:

Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey A. Moore

Leading Change by John P. Kotter

A few words about The Chasm

“Crossing the Chasm is closely related to the technology adoption lifecycle where five main segments are recognized: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards. According to Moore, the marketer should focus on one group of customers at a time, using each group as a base for marketing to the next group. The most difficult step is making the transition between visionaries (early adopters) and pragmatists (early majority). This is the chasm that he refers to. If a successful firm can create a bandwagon effect in which enough momentum builds, then the product becomes a de facto standard. However, Moore’s theories are only applicable for disruptive or discontinuous innovations. Adoption of continuous innovations (that do not force a significant change of behavior by the customer) are still best described by the original technology adoption lifecycle.” — Wikipedia

Here below is a visual representation of the adoption cycle showing the five main segments.

A few words about the Sense of Urgency

To establish a sense of urgency is the first of the eight-steps process defined by John P. Kotter to manage change. The full process is described in his book “Leading Change”.

As Kotter illustrates, increasing urgency is the toughest of the eight steps, and the one without which even the most brilliant, high-powered initiatives will sputter and die. The reason why he published “a sense of urgency”, specifically focalizing on this first highly critical step.

There is nothing as powerful as an idea for which time as come — Margaret Mead.

We, as human beings, are “loss averse”

Human beings are more encline to take action when facing a possible loss (a risk) than when facing a possible gain (an opportunity). In fact, we are okay to take action when the status quo is no longer possible or acceptable.

This means that most of us are inclined to take a risk to protect the status quo against something worse, but not to improve it. Human being is “loss averse” as he values twice as much what he owns than what he doesnt. Some experiments have shown that a loss of 5 dollars is compensated by a gain of 10 dollars. You can learn more on this topic by reading “Predictably Irrational” written by Dan Ariely.

In order to make change happen, it seems more efficient to show what would happen if we don’t act (the negative change) than what could happen if we act (the positive change).

Remote work: a winner of the crisis

This could explain the progression of remote work during the Covid-19 crisis. Before the crisis, remote work was perceived as an opportunity including some risks. Or even a risk including some opportunities for the most skepticals.

But when the crisis hit, remote work was the “only” available opportunity to pursue business. The considered risks were not the same because we were facing a threat (closing down the physical organizations). Suddenly, the intrinsic risks of remote work became acceptable considering the extrinsic risks of the crisis.

This is the reason many organizations embraced remote work.

We can consider that Covid-19 advanced the cause of remote work and we have probably saved years on this subject.

The crisis was a unique opportunity to implement it. By implementing it, we discovered the benefits of this way of working and there is a huge chance organizations will be able to capitalize and learn from this once the crisis will be over.

We can consider that due to the “Sense of Urgency” related to Covid-19, remote work “Crossed the Chasm”.

So, what will happen next ?

Our next step: the global warming challenge ?

Do not forget that we react to threat and we are loss averse.

So we should embrace the global warming challenge, right ?

Here, I think we have to add additional variables. The time and distance that separate us from the effect of the threat.

And with global warming we have a problem. It’s far and in a long time. Covid-19 is here and now.

With regard to global warming, we do not exactly know what we will lose, and where and when this will happen. It’s a major difference.

It is not excluded that there may be changes brought by the Covid-19 crisis which will go in the direction of action to counter global warming, nevertheless, in my opinion, it would be wrong to think that we will automatically take hold of this challenge at the end of the current crisis.

Our society has been shaked by the crisis and we can observe that the priority for this same society is to come back to the state before the crisis (with some required adaptations to counter the mid-long term effects of the virus). Most states, organizations and individuals want to “recover” as fast as possible. To come back to the pre-Covid-19 period in which they were feeling safe.

We try to reduce the entropy,that is the nature of human being.

Some say that there will be huge opportunities to build a “different world”after the crisis (without necessarily defining what “different” means for them). This is probably right, but let’s not forget that we react about twice as less to opportunities than we react to threats. This probably means there will be plenty of ideas and few actions.

My point here is not to say that we cannot embrace ambitious challenges and opportunities. I just want to highlight the fact that having “solved” the Covid-19 crisis will not automatically give more legitimacy and urgency to the global warming challenges. I consider the correlation to be low. Unfortunately.

Sense of Urgency: a catalyst for crossing The Chasm ?

What will happen to The Chasm after the crisis ?

We observed so many ideas, solutions, innovations, collaborations during the last weeks and months that we can imagine this will leave traces on how we see change.

As an example, Nuova Neon Group, an italian company, proposes plexiglass walls in order to protect people from contamination when going to the restaurant. It looks like this.

Considering the intrinsic difficulty to cross the chasm, does such a solution have any chance of success ?

In the pre-crisis world, I would bet that everybody would laugh at it and there would not even be any early adopters and even less an early majority. There would be no chasm to cross.

But in the post-crisis world, who knows ?

The balance has changed. The dilemma could be the following one: What are the necessary conditions to go to the restaurant while minimizing the risk of contamination ?

This a new question.

It requires a new answer.

I really hope the solution on the image above will not be the one we will retain in the long term because I think we can do better. But in the short term, it could be something that a majority (in the sense of Geoffrey A. Moore’s adoption curve) could accept.

What we see emerging here are new problems. And new solutions to discover.

New Blue Oceans are emerging.

“Social distancing” applied to transportation, public places and many other ones is potentially one of them.

And a sense of urgency seems to help for crossing the chasm. After all, that is what John P. Kotter tells us in his book.

The important thing to consider is that “sense of urgency” is an enabler or a catalyst; but it does not prevent us of providing a good solution if we want to have success in the long term.

As a conclusion

Remote work had already gained early adopters before the Covid-19 Crisis. There is a high chance that the crisis allowed it to cross the chasm and reach the early majority.

It happened because of the sense of urgency brought by the crisis AND because it is a good solution to real problems.

Adding plexiglass walls in restaurants to prevent contamination will possibly benefit from the sense of urgency induced by the fact we want to comme back to our “normal life” and that “social distancing” is still a Blue Ocean.

Anyway, if the solution is not intrinsically a good one that responds to the real problems, it will perhaps cross the chasm for a short term duration (or not cross it at all).

Sense of urgency is an enabler for good ideas and solutions, not a palliative.

A Sense of Urgency to Cross the Chasm was originally published in It's Your Turn on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

[seotipsandtricks-me]

One of the most overlooked ranking factors in Google is your bounce rate. That’s because bounce rate doesnt have a direct impact on SEO. BUT! It does have a huge impact on lots of metrics that DO have a direct impact on your rankings. In fact you are losing out on traffic every single day that you are ignoring your bounce rate. I will explain more about that later, but first let me tell you… What You Will Learn Why bounce rate is important for SEO What bounce rate really is (it’s not exit rate) How to increase traffic by lowering your bounce rate ways lower your bounce rate right now What Is Bounce Rate? Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who come to your website and leave without viewing any other pages on your website. For example, if one of your pages has a bounce rate of %, it means that % of the people who come to that page leave after only viewing the page on which they entered. It doesn’t matter if they spend 0 seconds or 0 minutes; if they leave without visiting any other page on your site, it’s considered a bounced visit. If your site only has a limited amount of pages and few internal links, your bounce rate will naturally be high. Think about it. Where can people go? On the other hand, if your page has more than a dozen pages, and particularly if they have good content, good design, and good internal linking—you will have a lower bounce rate. To find your bounce rate, go to your Google Analytics account and on the left sidebar, click on Audience > Overview: There — you will see your average bounce rate. Note: This blogs bounce rate is .% This bounce rate isn’t representative of your real bounce rate because it includes the behavior of the new users and the returning ones. That’s why you need to segment it by audience to get a true look at things. In the left sidebar, click on Behavior > Site Content > All Pages. Then, in the top bar, click on the “+Add Segment” button. In the list of available segments, scroll down until you find the “New Users” segment and click on the “Apply” button. The “New User” segment will only show you the bounce rate of the people who have never visited your site before. In the All Pages report that you accessed before, you will be able to see how the bounce rate of your new visitors compares to the returning ones. Bounce Rate Isn’t The Same As Exit Rate Some people confuse bounce rate with exit rate. They may seem similar, but the truth is that they are different metrics. Exit rate is the percentage of visits who actively click away to a different site from a specific page, whereas bounce rate is the percentage of visits that were the only one of the session. In other words, the exit rate represents the visitors who exited on a specific page, after possibly having visited other pages on your site. Bounce rate, on the other hand, records when a user exits directly from the page they entered. Therefore, all bounces are exits, but not all exits are bounces. How Bounce Rate Affects Your Rankings Bounce rate has never been considered an important metric SEO-wise. Sure it was nice to improve the user experience and there are many reasons to do that, but it had no impact on the way a site ranked in the search engines. But all of that has changed. One way bounce rate can negatively impact your rankings is when a user visits your site, clicks back to the search results, and clicks on a competitor’s result. That’s called pogo sticking and is essentially a Bounce. When that happens, the user is saying your site isn’t as good as your competitor’s one – and Google is tracking that! A high bounce rate means you also likely have a high pogo sticking rate and that is casting negative votes against your rankings every day. Not only that but a high bounce rate is often a symptom of weakness in other SEO factors- Low engagement Slow speed Bad mobile optimization Bad keyword matching Bad design Bad internal linking Bad content If you improve each of these aspects of your site, you will make your website more relevant and therefore, better suited to rank while taking care of the pogo sticking issue at the same time. So let me show you just how easy it is to lower your bounce rate right now- How To Lower Your Bounce Rate (And Increase Your Rankings) If your site has many different pages, like blog posts, landing pages and an about us page — you can expect a wide range of bounce rates. That’s why you need to take a look at the bounce rate of each individual page to see which one has the highest bounce rate right now. You should focus on fixing the pages with the highest bounce rate and most traffic before anything else. Here’s how you do it. Step – Finding The Pages With The Highest Bounce Rate First off, go to Google Analytics, and click on Behavior > Site Content > All Pages. Here you will see the pages on your website that have received the most pageviews and their bounce rates. Sort the bounce rate by clicking on that column to see pages with the highest to lowest bounce rate at the top- One problem with this report is that you will get pages with little to no traffic. You want to ignore those pages with next to no traffic and focus on the ones that have at least a certain amount of traffic. To filter those low-traffic pages, click on “Advanced.” In the menu, click on the “Page” dimension, and scroll down to the “Site Usage” section. Then click on the “Pageviews” filter. Make sure the filter says “Greater than” and then define the minimum amount of pageviews you want to filter this report with. Click on “Apply” and you will get a list of all the pages with the highest bounce rate AND more than 00 pageviews- This report helps you see what pages you need to focus your efforts on. Step – Find The Parts That People Don’t Like Or Understand You may think your website is simple to understand, but your readers may disagree. Instead of guessing what people do on your site, you can use heatmaps to find the specific user behaviors that show you the parts people look at, scroll to, and click-through. With the information from heatmaps, you can determine the best layout & content placement for your site. For example, the following heatmap shows how the visitors of this site behave- With this heatmap, we can see the visitors scrolled in the article’s title, in the badges at the top, and in the menu bar, particularly the “Post Categories” section. Some others seem to click on the bottom right, probably to click on the scroll bar. With the information from this heatmap analysis, I could optimize my site by testing- A larger top menu bar Adding/removing calls to action on the menu bar Adding a link to the award images (or placing a call to action near them) Remove the about me box in the sidebar and replace it with a call to action (takes lots of space, gets zero attention) You can use a heatmap to find things like: The sections that people most look and most ignore, so you can make things more/less prominent The buttons people see but ignore Which page elements attract peoples attention You should use the data from the heatmaps to carry out A/B tests and improve your pages. A tool I recommend is Inspectlet, which not only gives you access to heatmaps, but also to session recordings, and form analytics, among other things. Here is a handy coupon for you. Step – Make Your Pages Match Your Desired Keyword Or Message The best way of lowering your bounce rate is by improving the engagement on your pages. One reason why your pages have low engagement may be due to the fact your visitors don’t get what they want—or expect to get—based on the information shown in the Google results. For example, if you’re running an ad on Google Adwords that leads to a page with high bounce rate (and low conversion rate as well), it may be that the ad promises something that the visitors don’t get. The same applies to someone who reaches your site through an organic search result, email or social media. It’s important that your content matches the intent of the keyword. In the example below, you can see the results for the keyword “how do you start a blog post” But none of the ads have anything to do with my search. They are all about starting a blog, not writing a blog post. I clicked on the third result, and here’s the landing page they offer: Weebly is one of the largest website builders, yet in this case, their ad is completely irrelevant to what I was looking for, which is blog post writing tips. How do you think this affects their bounce rate? Make sure your title tags and meta descriptions paint an honest picture of what your pages are about. As the saying goes, underpromise and overdeliver. Step – Improve Internal Linking I have already shown you how implementing the right internal linking strategy will improve rankings. But besides the direct SEO benefits, internal linking allows people to visit more pages on your site, thus lowering your bounce rate. The goal of your internal links should be to invite people to look further on your site. Your internal links can be contextual (i.e., those that show up in a sentence), or separated from your content, like the ones shown at the bottom of this article. For example, here’s one contextual link taken from the internal linking article: And here’s an example of three non-contextual internal links: If you have a blog or a niche site, you can add “Related articles” at the end of your content like I do on the blog using this plugin. When linking contextually, think about other pages that people could be interested in. If you have an e-commerce store, think about adding a “Related products” at the end of your product pages. Actually if you have an ecommerce store you should implement my day ecommerce SEO strategy. Look at how Asos uses three different types of related product recommendations- One for shopping the whole look (which adds more relevance to the recommendations) One that’s based on your preferences One based on recently viewed products If your design includes a sidebar, like the case of The Next Web, then include links that everyone should read. For example, if you have one article you know that has high engagement or a high conversion rate, make sure to add it. I do this with the Super Post plugin on the blog but you’ll notice my blog posts don’t have a sidebar – just my home page, archive pages and static pages do. Step – Optimize Your Site For Mobile As I showed you in my recent post about Googles new SEO starter guide, mobile organic traffic has accounted for 0.% of all web traffic generated worldwide. If someone visits your site from a phone and it’s not mobile optimized, they will have a horrible experience which will lead to a bounce or negative pogo stick signal. Most WordPress themes (including my Authority theme) are responsive and mobile-friendly. But I highly suggest you browse your site on both a smartphone and a tablet to see how it looks. A recent study by ConversionXL showed that when Bullymax optimized their site for mobile, they got a purchase conversion rate uplift of .%- What’s more, They also saw an increase in their search engine traffic after making their site mobile-friendly- So pull out your phone or tablet and check your mobile experience right now. You will be surprised at what gets through the cracks! Step – Make Your Content Easy To Read One of the biggest contributors to a high bounce rate is badly written content. But what is badly written content? It’s not really got anything to do with grammar or spelling mistakes but it’s more about how that content engages people. Does the content match the intent of the keyword? And if it does – does the content engage people enough for them to click through to other parts of your site? For that to happen you need to make sure your content is easy to read and draws people in. If you have read my content for some time, you know that all my paragraphs are short, easy to read, and clearly written. You can do that by doing things like- Adding sub headings Adding images Making text bold/italic/underlined Adding bullet pointed lists (like this one) Breaking your content down into smaller pieces And contrary to popular SEO advice: Once I finish writing an article, during the editing process I try to reduce the word count as much as possible while adding value at the same time. You can find an analysis of your writing by checking the results Yoast SEO gives you at bottom of your posts. You don’t need to achieve the perfect score here (I never do) but you wants to try and get a green light on the majority of points. While the plugin says there are two problems in my article, what matters isn’t to get a perfect score, but to get the majority of the points in green. You could also take advantage of some of these SEO copywriting techniques to help keep people hooked! Just take a look at how Steve Kamb of NerdFitness writes the intro in this article: It’s emotional, it’s appealing, and it creates suspense on how to achieve the same results as the subject of the article. There are more techniques you can use in your intros, including the Agree-Promise-Preview (APP) Model and The Bridge Model. Whatever technique you use, having a catchy intro is a great way of sucking people into your site. Step – Make Your Site Faster If your site is slow, people will bounce. Fact. Not only that but it’s costing you more money than you realise. Decreasing my site’s load speed time by . seconds allowed me to earn $0, in just hours. To increase your page speed, run your website through GTMetrix. GTMetrix will give you a breakdown of your page, its loading time, and the problems it encountered loading it. The best part is that if you click on each problem, you will get a specific analysis of the files it had problems loading. If you need help improving your site speed, first you should also use a plugin like W Total Cache, which allows you to optimise your site’s page speed in a few minutes without spending a penny. You can turbo charge that even further by using a Content Delivery Network like MaxCDN. And if you are really serious about increasing your site speed (you should be) then use a good host like WPXhosting or Kinsta (who host this blog), which will have a huge impact on your site speed. Step – Add Clear Call To Actions You can have a beautifully-designed page, but if it doesn’t have a clear call-to-action (CTA) you will be doing damage to your bounce rate. Every page on your site should have a specific goal in mind, for example- A homepage that leads to a sign up trial, a lead magnet download, or a piece of content A blog post that provides a lead magnet or content upgrade An about us page that leads to a page where you show case studies from other clients I visited the homepage of my favorite backlink checker on the planet, Ahrefs– Not only is the title and description fantastic but the CTA is above-the-fold, it contrasts with the rest of the page and offers a clear benefit at a low price. Obviously people are going to click through at a high rate because its both highly relevant and the most obvious thing to do on the page. Make sure all your pages and posts have at least one CTA, even if you find it hard to find one that’s relevant – adding something is better than nothing. It’s easy to imagine that a product page has a “Add to bag” button, like the case of Asos. Your “About us” page should lead to a contact form for your services, a popular and profitable piece of content or a category page with your most widely shopped products. Your blog posts should lead to your content upgrades or lead magnets backed up with an email marketing strategy All of these things will not only lower your bounce rate, but increase your conversions and profits as well. Wrapping It Up So now you know how to lower your bounce rate, what are you waiting for? Because you are literally losing traffic and profits every single day that you are not optimising your bounce rate. Here are quick ways you can get started today: Use Google Analytics to find which pages have the highest bounce rate that alsorecieve a large % of your sites traffic – focus on these pages first. Install Inspectlet to begin analyzing how your visitors interact with those pages. Based on the heatmap analysis, improve your site to make it easier to use. Run your site on GTMetrix and check for any problems that slow down your site. Install W Total Cache and use MaxCDN. You might want to change to a faster host like WPXhosting or Kinsta (who host this blog). Run your site through the Google Mobile-Friendly Test and fix any problems the tool finds. If you see your site isn’t responsive at all, it’s easier to change to a Worpdress theme that is. Once you have taken care of those foundation problems you can focus on adding call to actions, making your content easier to read and improving internal linking. But until then don’t forget: Every day you are ignoring your bounce rate, you are losing traffic. Which change has had the biggest impact on bounce rate for you?

Elon Musk is wrong. Working extremely long hours doesn't make you better at your job.

New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/elon-musk-is-wrong-working-extremely-long-hours-doesnt-make-you-better-at-your-job/

Elon Musk is wrong. Working extremely long hours doesn't make you better at your job.

In 1926, Henry Ford shocked industry leaders around the world when he announced a five-day workweek for his Ford employees. “Just as the eight-hour day opened our way to prosperity in America, so the five-day workweek will open our way to still greater prosperity…it is high time to rid ourselves of the notion that leisure for workmen is either lost time or a class privilege,” Ford wrote then.

At the time, unions and workers’ advocates had been jostling for reduced working hours for decades, as part of efforts to improve working conditions. However, Ford probably wasn’t thinking about his employee’s well-being when he made the switch, says John Pencavel, senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. “He was more concerned, my guess, with preventing a possible unionization,” and losing any inch of control to organized labor.

To his probable surprise, Ford found, though, that knocking a day off of the work week actually improved productivity in his factories. It turned out,workers got more done in five days than they had in six.

It’s a counterintuitive result to mention today, particularly in a culture that rewards a burn-the-midnight-oil, work-until-you-drop mentality. But over a century of research on work environments has reached the same conclusion: Working more hours with more intensity doesn’t make your work better—it makes your work worse.

“The idea that shorter hours would increase output per hour is quite old, and goes back to the 19th century,” Pencavel says. It was unpopular with employers at the time—“the strength of their opposition was quite remarkable, actually,” he says. But case studies of reduced work hours at iron works, cotton mills, and eyeglass factories all reported improved work. In 1913, psychologist Hugo Münsterberg wrote that “It was found that everywhere, even abstracting from all other cultural and social interests, a moderate shortening of the working day did not involve loss, but brought a direct gain.”

More recent research echos those results. A 2004 review by the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reported that employees had decreased alertness and declines in vigilance at the end of long shifts, and that lengthy work days led to deterioration in work performance. Conversely, slightly shorter hours resulted in the opposite effect. A trial of a six-hour work day among a group of elderly-care nurses in Sweden improved their efficiency, and in a Swedish Toyota center, a six-hour work day led to increased profits.

Most recently, a study published this fall in Industrial and Labor Relations Review looked at data collected from 52,000 employees in Europe between 2010 and 2015. The authors, Hans Frankort, senior lecturer in strategy at Cass Business School in London and Argyro Avgoustaki, assistant professor of management at ESCP Europe, a business school with campuses across Europe, found that greater work effort actually impeded career progress. “There doesn’t seem to be any benefit from hard work,” Frankort says.

Hard work, as the study defined, was a measure of both the number of hours spent working and the intensity of that work—marked by things like the number of deadlines throughout the day. The amount of intensity was actually a greater predictor of poor work quality than more working hours or overtime, Frankort says. “It’s how much work you’re supposed to do within those hours. That’s important, because policy attention has often focused on hours, and not the pressure or intensity,” he says. He points to the four-day workplace as a popular idea, but says it wouldn’t lead to much improvement if all the same work in an office in a week just had to be done in a shorter time window—five days couldn’t just be jammed into four.

The negative effects of high intensity on workplace productivity can be mitigated, though, Frankort says, by implementing some element of choice around the way intense work gets done. “If you have some sort of discretion over how and when to do your work, it may reduce some of the negative consequences of excessive effort,” he says.

The worst environment for productivity, then, are workplaces with high pressure and little choice in how to operate within that pressure.

In the innately high pressure work environment of commercial air travel, regulatory bodies have stepped in to try and prevent long hours from impeding performance. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has limits on the number of hours pilots can fly, and mandates certain amounts of rest between flights.

Another industry with life-and-death implications—medicine—is struggling to figure out if mandating more limited hours makes sense for residents, doctors-in-training who regularly face 28-hour shifts. Studies of reduced hours report mixed results, and show that they might help prevent some elements of physician burnout. It’s not clear, though, if limiting hours improves performance and patient health, or if it takes away from resident education. “We’re really seeking more data to see what that sweet spot is between energy expended and efficiency, and a culture of wellness and self-worth,” says Mukta Panda, professor of medicine and assistant dean of medical student education at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine.

Even with evidence to show that working hard might not necessarily pay off, changing the habits that promote that idea isn’t easy—particularly in the United States, where the prevailing culture espouses the idea of the American Dream.

“If you work hard, in theory, you can achieve great things. I’m afraid most of those dreams don’t come true. But you only hear from the people whose dreams did come true,” Frankort says. “That’s why people respond with surprise to our findings.”

Elon Musk, for example, told reporters over the summer that he regularly works 120 hours a week, and links his success to that effort. “People then think if you work 120 hours a week, that will bring you great things,” Frankort says. “But it doesn’t mean that they were successful because they worked those hours.”

But even when people want to make changes to the amount they’re working, most employees have little to no influence over the decisions that govern how much they’re asked to work, and can’t restructure their workplace behaviors to match the evidence. In many industries, many people don’t have a choice of reducing the amount of time they spend working, even if it means those hours are less productive—if they’re paid by the hour, and their salary is low, the hours are unavoidable.

In other work environments, where people aren’t creating a visible output each day, employee productivity is difficult to evaluate by anything other than hours worked, Frankort says. “How do I convince you I’m working on something valuable if my output is billable hours? I’ll tell you I got lots of billable hours. The incentives are skewed,” he says.

Rather than uniformly cut down on the number of hours all humans work, Pencavel says, “I would recommend testing different work hours in each place.” There’s no one-size, fits-all approach, he says, and it would be in an employers best interest to experiment to see which hours fit best.

The same ethos holds true within the medical field in its search for the best way forward, Panda says. “We’re dealing with human beings, we have to be able to allow for flexibility,” she says. “People have different work pressures. Being able to provide the best work environment for each group is probably what’s needed.”

Discover the Advantages and Disadvantages of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) vs Pay Per Click

You have heard of ROI which is Return On Investment and this is RBI which means Return BEFORE Investment! Let's get the ball rolling and you will pay us for our services AFTER you see your site ranked on Google page 1 for your chosen keywords!.CLICK HERE!

***********

We are always on the lookout to hire quality, professional independent representatives for our local business pay per result search engine optimization services. Just use the form on the home page to contact us!

************

You’ve just launched your new website (or launched the redesign) and now you’re sitting back waiting for the orders to roll in. But wait a minute, something’s wrong… there don’t seem to be any. It’s as if your site doesn’t exist.

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but unless you have either a well publicised site or many websites linking to yours, you’re going to have to rely on the search engines. And if your site doesn’t rank in the first three result pages, it’s more than likely you won’t be found at all.

So… you know what’s coming next; that’s right, you need a good dose of search engine marketing (SEM) to make sure your site gets listed on the search engines’ results pages. Do this and the traffic to your website will soon follow.

“Right”, I hear you say. “Let’s do some search engine marketing then…”

Well that’s certainly a good start! But first you have to work out your approach to maximise your returns. Let’s call this your search engine marketing strategy. In order to create an effective strategy you need to understand a bit more about how search engine marketing works. Currently, we can roughly-speaking separate search engine marketing into two different approaches:

Organic: including search engine optimisation, links from other websites and offline marketing.

Paid: including pay per click, paid submission and online advertising (banner ads).

So to help you further, I’ve listed below the advantages and disadvantages to each approach to SEM and outlined my recommendations.

Organic: Advantages

The majority of the work behind search engine optimisation (SEO) is a one-off activity, and so is usually charged out at a set upfront fee.

The changes made to your website will probably still be relevant and driving traffic to your site a year from now.

Credibility: most people (research indicates between 60 and 80 percent) will click on the organic results rather than the sponsored (paid) results.

If you rank well in one of the major search engines (Google/Yahoo/MSN), you will most likely show up in the majority of the search engines worldwide.

Organic: Disadvantages

Changes must be made to your website’s code. Normally the changes are invisible to visitors. However, if you have invested heavily in a search engine-unfriendly site, the process can be time-consuming and costly; and occasionally significant changes may need to be made to your site’s copy, navigation or design. Of course ultimately, you’ll see returns if you commit to the necessary changes.

Results (rankings and traffic) start slowly. You will normally see results within 3-4 months.

There can be no guarantee. As the search engines themselves have the final say, you can’t predict how many rankings you’ll get for a particular search term or engine; nor can you predict how much traffic you’ll get to your site.

Paid: Advantages

Pay per click (PPC) advertising programs are fast to implement. It usually takes two to three weeks to set up and run. Google AdWords are up-and-running as soon as you start the campaign, and Overture listings are live within 3-5 business days (after an editor reviews them).

Nothing has to change on your web site, although I would recommend you create targeted landing pages for each advertisement as they’ve been proven to increase conversions (but that’s another subject for another time!).

There is no limit to the number of terms or keyword phases you can bid on.

PPC is good if you intend to run promotions through your site, as you can turn the PPC campaign on and off whenever you choose.

You can dictate where the listing appears on the result’s page (within the sponsors’ ads area) and determine what the ad says.

It’s very easy to test all your different search terms and offers etc, and to measure the results.

Paid: Disadvantages

Clicks can be expensive. Bidding wars often erupt.

You must keep paying for the clicks every month. If your budget is ever cut, your listings will disappear, along with your search engine traffic.

Most people (research indicates between 60 and 80 percent) will click on the organic results rather than the sponsored (paid) results.

It requires a time investment to monitor and adjust listings on a constant basis, or budget to outsource this activity.

Listings are subject to editorial acceptance. With SEO, you can state whatever you like on your website (which is where the search engines pull your page title and description). But with PPC, editors insist that all listings be factual and that you not compare your company with others. This means that even if you are the “largest” provider, you can’t state that.

Now you know a bit about the advantages and disadvantages of both organic and paid search engine marketing, you must decide how to approach your online marketing campaign.

Organic marketing is probably best if:

You want to spend some time on search engine marketing upfront and have it pay off in the future, on conceivably every search engine there is around the world.

You have a budget to do some work now, and want to save money later on.

Your site is fairly simple, without a lot of complicated bells and whistles.

You can afford to wait a month or two for results.

You don’t want to have to manage or maintain anything on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Paid advertising may be for you if:

You want to get up-and-running quickly.

You have a promotion where you want to be able to turn a PPC campaign on and off.

You want to be able to test search terms, products or offers and quickly see results.

Your site is search engine-unfriendly and you don’t want to invest in changing it.

You’re confident you’ll have the budget to spend for the long haul, and you have time to maintain positions on a regular basis.

Of course many companies and businesses tackle both organic and paid SEM at the same time, and this is what I would typically recommend to maximally attract qualified traffic to a website.

If you are currently designing your site, or redesigning an existing one, make sure your developer knows how to create search engine optimised code or is working closely with a SEO consultant. Getting it right from the beginning will save you time and money in the long run. And it needn’t cost a fortune either if you tackle this upfront

If you have an existing site you wish to optimise, you may have a hard decision to make if your current site is not search engine friendly. If your site has been built using extensive use of frames or dynamic pages (your URL may look like: http://www.yoursite.com/page.asp?id=8), the cost to rectify these problems can be discouraging. If this is the case, now may be the time to seriously consider redesigning your site earlier than you’d planned.

Either way, the use of a small paid (pay per click) advertising campaign before optimisation can be a great way to nail down those essential keywords to use throughout your site’s copy by recording which keywords customers respond to the most in your campaign.

Choosing the Best Rehabilitation Center Delaware Seaford

How to choose the best drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation and treatment centers in Delaware Seaford

Do you or a loved one struggle with an addiction to drugs, alcohol or even?

It can seem overwhelming to get freedom from the chains of addiction and impossible occasionally.

There’s hope however, millions of individuals addicted to drugs, alcohol or have managed to get clean and stay clean with the help of organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous or the thousands of residential and outpatient clinics dedicated to treating addiction.

Here at Find the Best Rehab Center we’ve been working since 2002 to help tens of thousands of people just like you get the help you need.

But if you have failed one or more times to attain lasting freedom after rehab, maybe after spending thousands of dollars, you are not alone. And chances are, it’s not your own fault.

Of the 23.5 million teens and adults addicted to alcohol or drugs, just approximately 1 in 10 has treatment, which too frequently fails to keep them drug-free. Many of these programs don’t use proven methods to deal with the factors that underlie addiction and set off relapse.

According to recent assessments of treatment programs, many are rooted in outdated methods rather than newer approaches shown in scientific research to be more effective in helping individuals achieve and maintain addiction-free lives. People typically do more research when shopping for a new car than when seeking treatment for addiction.

Kinds of drug, alcohol & substance addictions and abuse

What Substances Can Rehab Heal?

Most Common Kinds of Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Alcohol

Cocaine

Heroin

Marijuana

Methamphetamine

Opiates

Opioids

Tobacco products

The Way Rehabilitation Centers Help

Rehab is a treatment program designed to help those with addictions to psychoactive substances, specifically drugs and alcohol. Especially, rehab aims to stop addiction by acknowledging an issue exists and dealing with that issue. Some of the aims of rehab include:

Detoxification. It’s typical for those entering rehab to be high or have lots of drugs or alcohol in their system.

Overcoming denial.  No treatment for addiction will work if the patient doesn’t acknowledge they have a problem.

Understanding the nature of addiction.  People should learn that addiction is a disorder of the mind.

Formal diagnosis.  Rehab facilities commonly identify and treat co-occurring mental health problems.

Addiction Administration.  Rehab centers supply tools, techniques and methods for making behavioral and mental changes to remain sober.

Identifying triggers.  Rehabs help patients identify customs, character traits, emotions or cues that promote or encourage addiction.

Recovery support.  Rehab facilities help one construct and maintain support networks and connections.

Things to Expect in Rehab

There are several key elements to a successful and beneficial rehab program, regardless of the particular type of treatment selected.

Detoxification

Not many who enter rehab will need detox and those that do may require varying degrees of medical care and oversight. With the addiction, the entire body gets used to the addictive substance that eliminating it in the machine can cause extremely painful withdrawal symptoms. In many instances, the withdrawal symptoms may be harmful.

The exact detox procedure will rely on the substance and the severity of the addiction. But, all detox procedures will be supervised and executed by medical professionals who will produce the detox procedure as secure and comfortable as medically possible. The detox may last anywhere from a few days to a few Weeks and frequently happens in a medical facility.

Addiction Therapy and Education

The precise length and length of therapy changes. Most evidence-based therapies are going to have medicine and cognitive-behavioral element to them. More about that below.

Recovery Support

This generally entails finding ways to prevent relapse. The specific aftercare program is based on the individual’s progress and continuing needs. Examples of aftercare include counseling, support groups and sober housing.

Intake & Assessment

At this time, the treatment suppliers evaluate the individual to determine the very best treatment plan for this individual. Depending on the program, an interview, medical examination and/or psychiatric examination will be run. Among the things treatment providers will search for are the presence of concurring mental health or psychological issues. Relatives and friends may also be interviewed to gain extra insight into someone’s addiction.

How to Find The Best Drug & Alcohol Treatment Facility Near You

Because of the unique nature of addiction, there is an abundance of treatment options available. The best treatment option will be contingent on details concerning the addiction, like how long it’s been going on, the presence of co-occurring psychological health problems, the financial tools available for rehab and the substances the person is using. Each of the significant treatment options are discussed in detail below.

At a 2012, a study performed by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University discovered that only about 10% of individuals addicted to drugs or alcohol (excluding nicotine) received any form of addiction treatment. And most of those treated did not receive evidence-based treatments that use scientifically proven methods of fighting addiction.

Therefore, irrespective of which treatment option is preferred, there are particular traits or characteristics to watch out for when choosing a successful rehab option.

The treatment will last a long time. The specific quantity of time will depend on the kind of treatment chosen, but almost any effective treatment for addiction will last at least a couple weeks.

Avoid intervention-based, episodic treatments if possible. The most effective treatment will demand long-term help to cover the chronic disease that’s addiction.

The treatment centers on evidence-based therapies.

The treatment will use numerous treatments to deal with the multiple causes of addiction.

If any other psychological disorders exist, they’ll be treated at precisely the exact same moment.

A long-term follow up plan is in place to check in with all the individual after treatment is officially over.

Types of Addiction Treatment Centers

Treatment centers can be either Christian or non-religious, Inpatient or outpatient. Whatever your need we’ve got a treatment methodology which can help you to overcome your addiction.

Residential Treatment

Also called inpatient treatment, residential treatment is a detailed treatment that encircles the individual in a controlled environment 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Residential treatment could be long-term short-term.

Long-Term Residential Treatment

Long-term residential treatment continues at least two months, but could often last up to one year. This sort of treatment is considered among the most effective options available, though it’s also pricey.

The most usual long-term residential treatment program relies on the idea of a healing community. At a therapeutic community, everyone, not only the professional employees, play a part in helping the individual fight addiction. Treatment will often start with detoxification and handling the physiological facets of the addiction, but will soon shift into the psychological side of the issue. Because treating addiction often involves changing behavior, it can take a long time to implement these positive changes and make them permanent.

Additionally, the individual is surrounded by people who will fortify these modifications in behavior. They’re shielded from triggers and influences that lead to addiction, making the treatment that far more successful. For example, the longer a person has been separated from previous acquaintances and preferences having to do with the addiction, the more overseas and not as comfortable they will seem. This enhances the chances of preventing a relapse.

Short-Term Residential Treatment

In short-term residential treatment, the individual will reside in the treatment facility and be tracked 24/7 until the rehab is over. But it is going to persist for a far briefer period of time, often a few weeks to a couple months. As a consequence of the shorter time period for rehab, the approach differs from the long-term residential treatment choice.

Such as the long-term residential treatment choice, the person will normally go through detoxification and engage in behavioral and pharmacotherapies to tackle both the physical and mental aspects of addiction. However, with a shorter time in rehab, there is less chance of training, therapy and reinforcement of positive and constructive habits. Furthermore, there is not much prospect for a person to”grow distant” from their former life.

After the short-term residential treatment program is finished, the person must be diligent in completing follow up (aftercare) or outpatient treatment programs. A strong support network is essential to prevent relapse.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment

In outpatient treatment, a person doesn’t live at the treatment facility. The exact type of treatments will be based on the specific program, however, is frequently less intense and of shorter duration than inpatient programs. There are a few other significant differences as well.

Outpatient programs are ideal for anyone with extensive support programs. Because the treatment will stop if the individual leaves the outpatient session, so it is very important that they have family, friends or local support groups to help keep the treatment procedure. Without a supply of support and accountability after an outpatient treatment session is finished, the potency of the treatment program is going to be diminished.

Outpatient programs are good for people who want treatment, but can not afford to devote an elongated period of time away from their job, home or current living situation. Even short-term residential inpatient treatment programs often last a month. This is a very long period to be away from family or work.

Outpatient treatment is usually significantly less costly than inpatient treatment. However, even if it is not as effective as inpatient treatment, it is better than no treatment at all. A strong support network of support can drastically reduce the drawbacks of outpatient rehab.

State-Funded Treatment Programs

These rehab programs take a variety of kinds, including inpatient, outpatient, support groups and counseling. However, because they are state financed, the standard of care generally isn’t on par with private or luxury treatment rehab facilities. There may be waiting lists to enroll and also the ratio between professional staff and people is quite big. Additionally, a number of the newer therapy or medical treatment choices may not yet be available in state funded treatment programs, thanks to financial or bureaucratic factors.

More Factors to Consider When Choosing a Rehab Facility

Amenities

The conveniences provided during inpatient rehab are usually joined to the cost of this program. Luxury rehab treatment centers can offer plush accommodations, gourmet meals and recreational activities, such as spa treatments.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are state funded treatment programs. Most state funded treatment programs don’t even have enough money to offer the most effective treatment possible, such as having more treatment specialists on staff. Therefore, the amenities will be sufficient, but not luxurious.

Visitation

Visitation is advocated for most individuals in rehab. Familial and social support is vitally important to help fight addiction, particularly after the treatment is finished. Family members and friends might even take part in the treatment during their visits.

Yeast Infection No More Review I was looking for an honest Yeast Infection No More review at 3am the other morning as a result of if you've got had a yeast infection (Candida infection) you'll know that the symptoms (itching especially) are enough to keep you awake all night. All I may realize was varied “sales reviews” without any concrete information on whether or not it had been worth shopping for. It claims to be the best Candida diet and cure on the web however then there are quite some different Candida cure programs accessible. In desperation I bought it and browse through regarding half of it and then I was exhausted however thrilled to own a bit of relief from the yeast infection symptoms. Below is my review of the Yeast Infection No Additional program – I am currently implementing as several of it's suggestions as I will to cure my yeast infection for good. I've mentioned things that stuck out to me in the various chapters. I use all the terms “thrush”, “candida” and “yeast” infections – it means that the identical issue. Inside Linda Allen's Yeast Infection No A lot of Book The E-Book is kind of an extended browse with a ton of information. This is the second edition and its 237 pages long. The default font is fairly big (so you do not have to strain your tired eyes at three within the morning) and it would in all probability condense to fewer pages in an exceedingly “normal” printed size font. But it's not a difficult read. The program is written by Linda Allen. She could be a nutritionist, health consultant and former yeast infection sufferer from California. The main aim of the ebook is to erradicate yeast infections by eliminating the root reason for the yeast infection. She doesnt promise a fast fix (although the 12 hour symptom relief arrange will supply quick symptom relief). If you're not willing to vary your bad eating habits and poor diet then assume twice regarding shopping for this ebook. It's going to take some discipline and work on your half to implement her “Candida Free Diet”. Even if you do not follow the diet though, the herbal mixes and topical relief remedies are smart to understand concerning for thrush symptom relief. Chapter 2 : deals well concerning all the various root causes of yeast infections. From dangerous diet to weakened immunity, she covers each concievable angle thus you'll pin purpose what the important cause is of your Candida over-growth. This is crucial to treating recurring thrush. If you puzzled what causes the awful Candida symptoms? Here's the answer:Candida offers off a toxic waste known as Acetaldehyde. This transforms into ethanol which causes many of the unpleasent symptoms you're in all probability acquainted with, including oral thrush, vaginal yeast infection, upper back pain, bloating, sores in the mouth, brain fog, restless leg syndrome, migrains, blurred vision and chronic athletes foot. What I found extremely attention-grabbing is her reasoning concerning why mainstream drugs and doctors will not tell you concerning natural thrush treatments. Some people might not agree with her claims but in essence they make business sense. I like that she advocates paying attention to your body, creating dietary changes and taking responsibility for your health. While not doing this, you will never lose the basis reason behind your recurring Candida. She even lists all the commonly prescribed pharmaceutical treatments (creams, pessaries etc.) with an explaination of how they work and their nasty facet effects. She discusses how the body gets diseased in general – terribly informative Her whole approach to yeast infection treatment is based on the actual fact that if you allow the body to conduct it's internal cleansing process of removing toxins (detoxification) along with restoring the natural balances with right nutrition, it results in the body healing itself. Chapter 3: deals with diagnosing the yeast infection. She tells concerning the numerous medical tests worn out labs and what they entail. She then offers a lengthy and detailed questionnaire and check-list of what could seem like unrelated symptoms – once once more stressing the very fact that yeast infections are badly diagnosed by main stream drugs. Chapter 4: is the Basic twelve Hour relief treatment. (You will love this) Here is an intensive hour by hour treatment set up specified by all it's gory glory. It's visiting be messy so be ready. There are some sensible herbal wash recipes too that you'll be able to apply on an on-going basis till your symptoms are gone. You may be tempted to prevent the remainder of her arrange once your symptoms are gone however be warned that unless you get rid of the foundation reason behind your recurring yeast infection, those annoying symptoms will be back. If you wish to be rid of them forever then follow the rest of her plan. She also provides treatments for nail fungus infection – another symptom of a Candida infection Chapter five: could be a Fast Results mini program for busy folks who dont have time to implement the complete issue. Chapter 6: is the total anti-yeast program a five step system (Paraphrased to respect the copyright) Get your diet rightIt includes the important half dozen Dietary principles that are essential for being candia free Get your immune system rightAll the nutritional supplements you wish to takeCleanse your SystemVery thorough body detox and cleanse guidelines for all the foremost organs of the body. It features a detailed detoxification program and explains all regarding raw food diets, fasting, juice cleansing and the way to pay attention to your body's wants. Infact you'll have a better understanding of your digestive system than some doctors do. I found the section on “How to Deal with a Healing Crisis” very helpful Getting rid of parasites was a touch gross but you may see why it's essential for curing a yeast infection. Kill The Candida Good recommendations on the most effective product to kill the suckerGetting the great stuff back in your bodyAll the supplements you wish to urge your body back to good operating order Section two: goes through all the opposite lifestyle factors that indirectly have an effect on yeast infection I found the section on the effects of stess on Candida terribly interesting plus her stress busting tips.The sleep optimisation set up was also terribly helpful with smart tips for better sleep. Section 3: attracts it all along with tips for maintaining a “Candida Free Environment” There's a full heap a lot of however I suppose you get the concept – The ebook on a whole goes into very thorough detail on each side of candida overgrowth (yeast infection), to the point of being extreme. Linda goes to great lengths to clarify in terribly understandable terms (laymans terms) everything you wish to grasp about yeast infection treatment, infact you will be a yeast infection expert by the tip of the book.

Blockchain and the Law Workshop @ UCL

April 26 2018 

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/events/2018/apr/blockchain-and-law?mc_cid=d361c2bb54&mc_eid=f20555d56f

“The workshop deals with emergent economic, political and legal phenomena in the field of FinTech. It pursues two distinct goals. First, it intends to generate awareness and facilitate a better understanding of the actors, phenomena and dynamics of the new financial order. Second, it explores the political and legal implications of financial and technological innovation based on blockchain technology. These debates will constitute the basis of an edited volume that introduces practitioners and researchers to the regulatory and political challenges of blockchain technologies and its diverse uses.”

Thoughts: To be honest, I found this quite dry. Even though I knew the layout of this event, I still think I expected this to be more of a lecture style and cohesive delivery of material that everyone agreed on, which obviously is never what panel events are like. But I still found that the content was very scattered, information was repeated, and some of the information seemed quite generic. I was definitely not impressed with the speaker that spent most of her presentation talking about AI and its implications - just seemed like she recycled an old presentation and somehow thought it would fit into a workshop specifically about blockchain?? Though I did learn overall, it just wasn’t very consistent or necessarily what I thought I’d get out of this session. Some things I found especially helpful: the three token types explained (by multiple different people haha), the comparison between token launches and other types of funding, and Prof. Ioannis Lianos’s insights on regulatory challenges.

NOTES

Panel 1: Fintech and Blockchain: State of play of the industry

Julian Leitloff, Co-founder & CEO of Fractal Blockchain

Deutsch bank background

Equity crowdfunding

Similar

investors are young and male

Interests of people investing have similar interests: product driven (i need to use this), return driven (privacy), cause driven (i care so much about data privacy)

Similar funding dynamics: Most of the funds are allocated right at the start - people make up their minds before the actual launch

Inherently different

International

More like a currency valuation - the token value does not depend on revenues, isn’t the same as just equity. → tokens not dependent on revenues but on usage (return token ←→ utility token)

Open and transparent way to fundraise for open source projects - token launches

Building this international community is really hard to do - actual international capital market

166 nationals involved

Components of a token launch

Florian Glatz, President of the German blockchain association (Bundesblock)

Thomas Bertani, CEO of Oraclize and EIDOO

Leading data delivery (connection between blockchain applications + any other context)

99% of the market cause started early

Eg. decentralised insurance (delay / smart contracts?), gambling games (implementing lotteries), exchange scalability

HMRC policy paper - vat exemption?

FCA sandbox program

Sterling-backed ERC20 token - allowed to issue sterling pound tokens on the public chain in a regulated manner (using digital identity cards to send payments would facilitate the KYC process on both business and usersides: onboarding of new users into blockchain space). Simple P2P payments without intermediaries.

technical complexities

Uncertainty around value of the coin

Switzerland is moving really fast, and encouraging new startups. Guidelines from FINMA (for financial licenses)

Exchanges: centralised / decentralised

Change one crypto to another, huge implications in regulation because operator in one case is actually holding on to the money VS exchange operator is just facilitating transfer + has no way to steal money or instruct money to move in a way not approved

Wallets: custodial/non custodial → implications

Still not defined

Custodial: If you are a provider of a wallet, and you are custodial provider (can prevent user to spend independently money), you will need a license for KYC

Non custodial: Technical service (can just download and run software themselves) → technically impossible to do KYC

ICO/tokens: classification of tokens, requirements

Robert Kilian, General Counsel, N26

Traditional fintech / fintech bank - 850/900k customers, v small bank, but have to report to 20 regulatory authorities on a daily basis

What’s especially interesting is solutions around digital identity services & Regulatory reporting (there’s a whole world to discover), beyond payments

Every authority has working groups + understands the business models

2 main hurdles

Blockchain based payments (cryptos + settlement systems/target 2) are not very widely accepted on european market, problem in every B2C business

Tech capacities & solutions are all very early stage, need to step up in regards with bringing specialised blockchain fintechs with other banks/fintechs. How you can put them into other solutions/technologies

Ben Whitby, Director of Compliance, TokenCard

Was at HSBC

Prepaid card platform built on ethereum to realise/extract value of ethereum/TLC?? token into Fiat, enabling that through mastercard and other issuers

Built on decentralised - you are holding those assets and they’re under your control (vs custodian wallet or bank, where custodian holds those assets)

SSL technology is driving public/private key infrastructure

Transactions you operate on an ethereum network can be seen by anybody, except your name isn’t associated with it (its your wallet’s address)

People can send you information/tokens if they have your wallet’s address, you can’t stop that. Operators can’t stop it either. [ie. terrorist sending them in]

Need some mechanism of sanctions

Data that is provided to blockchain is open + transparent

Lots of talk about scanning your documents (raw files) on to the blockchain for a digital identity: problem, because once your identity info is on blockchain, even though its encrypted, encryption deteriorates over time + as computer gets more sophisticated. I wouldn’t put anything on it that you ultimately wouldn’t mind being made public.

Youport, sovereign, UN’s 2020 -- will all push forward digital identities, in 2-3 years will probably have to use them

DLT vs public chains

DLT: Reduce operational cost, T+10 seconds. Barriers to entry here are v v significant, good for existing players

Public: support entrepreneurial activity. Enter into an ecosystem and grow your chain

Tokens: evolution of where we are in society, fractional capabilities are game changing, and transacting at near 0 costs, with massively increased trust because you know assets are going to go from point a-b

V important to determine difference between utility and payment tokens

Shouldn’t regulate tokens with yesterday’s regulations

Structure it properly and not hamper the innovation

Personally doesnt use internet banking lol

Sending photos on email/internet is horrible

Risk cannot be delegated - due diligence is important

Panel

Startups are working on quantam computing resistant encryption

People will eventually move to decentralised, non custodial solution

Hackable point is overdone - because systems develop overtime. You never store data on the blockchain, only metadata (??).

Blockhchain is the only proof you have of the timestamp? can’t remove it

Blockchain is the only  censorship resistant mechanism that exists today - internet is censored by the government

Liquid assets - can easily sell, more appealing to investors

ICO vs equity funding

ICO: upsides - international market, easy access. Downsides - Technical capacity (wallet, install this, get to know this to the customers, which is a huge process), security

 Panel 2: Blockchain and Fintech: Emerging legal issues

Victoria Birch, Partner, Norton Rose Fullbright

For AI to be accepted in any given market, it needs to be perceived by participants in the market as meeting minimum ethical/legal standards

Why are ethical values important?

Humans make decisions against a background of implicit societal ethical norms

AI is capable of autonomous decision making

AI is trained on past data and live operational date and takes on societal norms

Liability, reputation

Eg. HR decisions

Legal risks: supply chain impact, civil liabilities, consumer impact, contractual implications, criminal liability, regulatory breach, human rights/reputation, data privacy, etc  

Smart contracts and stuff

Michael McKee, Partner, DLA Piper

European banking authority has defined virtual currency (digital representation used as a means of exchange and can be transferred/stored/traded electronically, not issued by a public authority, not necessarily attached to a fiat currency) - doesn’t have a backer and is decentralised, often are cryptographically secured

3 different categories - not necessarily legal

Payment (ie. bitcoin) - do not entail any claims on their issuers.

Are they money?

Problem with terminology

Store of value - Don’t function well as store of value, lots of volatility

Means of payment - not widely accepted

Unit of account - no

Utility - designed to give their holders access to blockchain powered services/platform, don’t generally create an issue for financial services regulators

Asset - attract most attention from regulators, usually associated with ICOs, that represent debt/equity claim. Offer some interest in profitability of the project - v similar to traditional securities.

Regulatory rationales?

Lots of abusive behaviour has been associated with eg. ICOs

Capacity to manipulate the market, ponzi schemes

ML and terrorism

Retail investors ?

Reducing transaction costs

Risk to global financial system

Forms of regulation

Top down - how people expect

Bottom up - typically industry led

Businesses policing risk - not so much regulation but business decisions by big players in payments world (lloyds bank)

Recent legal and regulatory developments

Supranational level: financial stability board (to G20), european commission action plan, IMF

US is ahead of the game:

CFTC dived in early (regarded as a commodity from a securities perspective, and a property from tax POV)

token issuers and exchanges are “money transmitters” (register and comply with AML/KYC)

FCC has taken very tough stance on ICO - if its an ICO its regarded as a security

UK

Case by case approach (v british), more nuanced in different ICOs (utility vs those that have a more security slant)

Tax: not subject to VAT, but yes to income/corporate gains tax

Germany - the opposite approach to US/UK (capital gains don’t apply, VAT does apply, because they are treated as means of payment)

EU: 4th money laundering directive includes electronic stuff

China takes hostile approach, cracked down on crypto exchanges, banned ICOs

Russia not so hostile, but has a draft bill on digital assets that states that digital financial assets aren’t legal means of payment

Challenges

Protecting retail investors

Internationally harmonised rules?

Whether integration or isolation in cryptos from traditional financial systems

Energy consumption - does this one huge downside outweigh all the rest?

Dr. Philipp Hacker, Humboldt University Berlin

Crypto securities regulation: ICOs under EU financial law

5B (ICO) vs 200M (VC) - blockchain fundraising in 2017

What you want is to avoid a US class action lawsuit (Tezos ICO - securities class action. Personally liable). 7 ICOs are facing this.

EU doesn’t have class action laws

3 archetypes of tokens:

Currency - not securities (exception of “instruments of payment), possibly subject to payment services regulation (PSD2)

investment (assets) - eg. DAO. prospectus regulation, free put option, crypto bank run

Utility - eg. filecoin, comparable to shares in companies (or securitised debt?). Disclosure duties and withdrawal rights, free put option, cryptobank run.

Negotiability (+)

Voting rights (+/-)

Future cash flow / dividends (-)

Possible appreciation in value (+)

Is this enough? 1 / 2 revenues. Two possibilities and zero case law:

1. Enough if expectations of profit raised by promotional materials

2. Generally not enough → financial risks stem from product functionality risks, better addressed by consumer law. Exception if AIV clearly dominates consumptive aspects.

Generally not securities → advantage for ICO system in EU

Recommendations:

Internal: Safe harbour for tokens - disclosure requirements

External: international convention

Dr. Deni Mantzari, University of Reading

Dr Anna Donovan, UCL Laws

Panel

Corporate governance - deep governance issues in open source/DLT communities

Light touch approach, compliant ?? regime

Algorithmic fairness paper

Singapore is the blockchain disneyland

Courts role (vs regulation) in liability - US/singapore

AI liability - victorian cases about when your horse loses control lol

EU courts probably going to get involved, and they’re quite experienced in dealing with technological change

Growing role for expert witnesses with tech background

Common law places them well in responding sensibly with traditional principles that have manifested themselves in new ??

 Panel 3: Fintech, Blockchain and the Law: Regulatory Challenges

Dr Matteo Aquilina, Financial Conduct Authority

Talking about blockchain: 1. cryptos, 2. DLT in general

Consumer protection, market integrity, competition in interest of consumers

Cooperates with financial stability part (bank of england) [FB/PC]

Money has 3 core functions

Roughly 60% of BTC transactions are for illegal (years ago, when it was more niche)

ICOs vs standard capital raising - information asymmetry + uncertainty (company is so young) are extreme

Advantages: Improving organisational resilience, improve transparency, efficiency / removing intermediaries / saving costs in existing services

DLT as a game changer not in reforming old services, but eliminating/creating a completely new service

FCA as a whole is a believer in this technology, but we shouldn’t underestimate the risks (esp in consumer protection area + competition in future)

Regulatory sandbox

Dr. Tomaso Aste, Chair, UCL Center of Blockchain Technology (CBT)

Blockchain for regulation

Transactions are verified by a large community, community verification is hard to tamper, verified recorded immutable history of fair play reduces reputation?? → trust

A coordination technology that can create efficient marketplaces from illiquid environments that are not naturally connected and trustworthy

Use cases - Maison Project

Enabling real time regulatory reporting

Enabling a mortgage switching service

Limitations

Basic motor of blockchain is consensus - super inefficient

Consensus requires community validation

Information must be accessible to all network participants

In most cases, this is not affordable - Conflicts with proprietary rights on data, privacy, security

Reliable time stamping?

Research is needed

Prof. Ioannis Lianos, UCL Faculty of Laws

2 main views of regulation

Public interest - who are we protecting? Investors, consumers, etc

Private interest - new competitors to the market?

2 main issues:

1) What is a regulatory problem to be solved? Market failure

Privacy as a theoretical issue - as the equality parameter of competition (after microsoft linkedin merger)

But blockchain doesn’t bring up risk for privacy issues in comparison to digital platforms

Competition authorities often focus on horizontal - potential entrants + substitutes

But also suppliers and buyers are part of this thing

^ looking at porters 5 forces

Competition authorities duty to protect and promote competition and innovation

What about fairness?

Architectural advantage of various companies being able to influence ecosystem (incl. regulators) in a way that is in favour of their own interest. Narratives out there serve particular actors.

Blockchain → bottlenecks? (network effects/externalities)

Ethereum as indisputable platform of choice for tokens

Mining - highly concentrated, 5 operators control 85% of hash power

GDPR’s right to be forgotten vs blockchain immutability

Adaptive algorithms? Harder to deal with learning algorithms  

Schumpeterian approaches ←→ imperfect competition

Permissionless innovation - experimentalism - principle of precaution

Currently missing from regulator’s approach: lots of interaction/collab with firms, but not much public consultation (for other stakeholders POV, like consumers)

Self regulation of industry - probably in the form of rating agencies

2) Different tools that regulators have at their disposal

Robert Kilian, General Counsel, N26

Prof. Iris Chiu, UCL Laws

Ben Whitby, Director of Compliance, TokenCard

Panel

EU financial law is heavily based on model of centralised systems (commercial registers)

See what other technologies we have that are decentralised (eg. cloud) - pretty much the same problems (IT, DP, financial regulation)

Public consultation is key, esp in financial regulation / new tech / entrepreneurship

Public chains are the ones that are going to enable innovation, DLT is great for incumbents to strip out costs n such

Crypto assets are borderless in nature, so needs more international coordination

Pittsburgh g20 OTT space - clear guideline

Utility + currency tokens don’t act like securities, consumer law is probably better

Primary (great ambiguity in asset tokens - should be regulated, not be treated like a financial offering) + secondary market (what sort of trading markets are we promoting and whether that is in line with what consumers want) dimension of ICOs

Regulators do engage with public - publishing many discussion papers

Blockchain will enable a much more competitive enviro

Competition authority should promote more Interoperability standards (open banking), more transparency in the market might encourage collusion?

1844 railways act

Regulators get blamed whether they regulate or not

V wait and see - probably foreclosure of one of the big platforms not giving access to a competitor

Functionally equivalent in law

One of the most overlooked ranking factors in Google is your bounce rate. That’s because bounce rate doesnt have a direct impact on SEO. BUT! It does have a huge impact on lots of metrics that DO have a direct impact on your rankings. In fact you are losing out on traffic every single day that you are ignoring your bounce rate. I will explain more about that later, but first let me tell you… What You Will Learn Why bounce rate is important for SEO What bounce rate really is (it’s not exit rate) How to increase traffic by lowering your bounce rate ways lower your bounce rate right now What Is Bounce Rate? Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who come to your website and leave without viewing any other pages on your website. For example, if one of your pages has a bounce rate of %, it means that % of the people who come to that page leave after only viewing the page on which they entered. It doesn’t matter if they spend 0 seconds or 0 minutes; if they leave without visiting any other page on your site, it’s considered a bounced visit. If your site only has a limited amount of pages and few internal links, your bounce rate will naturally be high. Think about it. Where can people go? On the other hand, if your page has more than a dozen pages, and particularly if they have good content, good design, and good internal linking—you will have a lower bounce rate. To find your bounce rate, go to your Google Analytics account and on the left sidebar, click on Audience > Overview: There — you will see your average bounce rate. Note: This blogs bounce rate is .% This bounce rate isn’t representative of your real bounce rate because it includes the behavior of the new users and the returning ones. That’s why you need to segment it by audience to get a true look at things. In the left sidebar, click on Behavior > Site Content > All Pages. Then, in the top bar, click on the “+Add Segment” button. In the list of available segments, scroll down until you find the “New Users” segment and click on the “Apply” button. The “New User” segment will only show you the bounce rate of the people who have never visited your site before. In the All Pages report that you accessed before, you will be able to see how the bounce rate of your new visitors compares to the returning ones. Bounce Rate Isn’t The Same As Exit Rate Some people confuse bounce rate with exit rate. They may seem similar, but the truth is that they are different metrics. Exit rate is the percentage of visits who actively click away to a different site from a specific page, whereas bounce rate is the percentage of visits that were the only one of the session. In other words, the exit rate represents the visitors who exited on a specific page, after possibly having visited other pages on your site. Bounce rate, on the other hand, records when a user exits directly from the page they entered. Therefore, all bounces are exits, but not all exits are bounces. How Bounce Rate Affects Your Rankings Bounce rate has never been considered an important metric SEO-wise. Sure it was nice to improve the user experience and there are many reasons to do that, but it had no impact on the way a site ranked in the search engines. But all of that has changed. One way bounce rate can negatively impact your rankings is when a user visits your site, clicks back to the search results, and clicks on a competitor’s result. That’s called pogo sticking and is essentially a Bounce. When that happens, the user is saying your site isn’t as good as your competitor’s one – and Google is tracking that! A high bounce rate means you also likely have a high pogo sticking rate and that is casting negative votes against your rankings every day. Not only that but a high bounce rate is often a symptom of weakness in other SEO factors- Low engagement Slow speed Bad mobile optimization Bad keyword matching Bad design Bad internal linking Bad content If you improve each of these aspects of your site, you will make your website more relevant and therefore, better suited to rank while taking care of the pogo sticking issue at the same time. So let me show you just how easy it is to lower your bounce rate right now- How To Lower Your Bounce Rate (And Increase Your Rankings) If your site has many different pages, like blog posts, landing pages and an about us page — you can expect a wide range of bounce rates. That’s why you need to take a look at the bounce rate of each individual page to see which one has the highest bounce rate right now. You should focus on fixing the pages with the highest bounce rate and most traffic before anything else. Here’s how you do it. Step – Finding The Pages With The Highest Bounce Rate First off, go to Google Analytics, and click on Behavior > Site Content > All Pages. Here you will see the pages on your website that have received the most pageviews and their bounce rates. Sort the bounce rate by clicking on that column to see pages with the highest to lowest bounce rate at the top- One problem with this report is that you will get pages with little to no traffic. You want to ignore those pages with next to no traffic and focus on the ones that have at least a certain amount of traffic. To filter those low-traffic pages, click on “Advanced.” In the menu, click on the “Page” dimension, and scroll down to the “Site Usage” section. Then click on the “Pageviews” filter. Make sure the filter says “Greater than” and then define the minimum amount of pageviews you want to filter this report with. Click on “Apply” and you will get a list of all the pages with the highest bounce rate AND more than 00 pageviews- This report helps you see what pages you need to focus your efforts on. Step – Find The Parts That People Don’t Like Or Understand You may think your website is simple to understand, but your readers may disagree. Instead of guessing what people do on your site, you can use heatmaps to find the specific user behaviors that show you the parts people look at, scroll to, and click-through. With the information from heatmaps, you can determine the best layout & content placement for your site. For example, the following heatmap shows how the visitors of this site behave- With this heatmap, we can see the visitors scrolled in the article’s title, in the badges at the top, and in the menu bar, particularly the “Post Categories” section. Some others seem to click on the bottom right, probably to click on the scroll bar. With the information from this heatmap analysis, I could optimize my site by testing- A larger top menu bar Adding/removing calls to action on the menu bar Adding a link to the award images (or placing a call to action near them) Remove the about me box in the sidebar and replace it with a call to action (takes lots of space, gets zero attention) You can use a heatmap to find things like: The sections that people most look and most ignore, so you can make things more/less prominent The buttons people see but ignore Which page elements attract peoples attention You should use the data from the heatmaps to carry out A/B tests and improve your pages. A tool I recommend is Inspectlet, which not only gives you access to heatmaps, but also to session recordings, and form analytics, among other things. Here is a handy coupon for you. Step – Make Your Pages Match Your Desired Keyword Or Message The best way of lowering your bounce rate is by improving the engagement on your pages. One reason why your pages have low engagement may be due to the fact your visitors don’t get what they want—or expect to get—based on the information shown in the Google results. For example, if you’re running an ad on Google Adwords that leads to a page with high bounce rate (and low conversion rate as well), it may be that the ad promises something that the visitors don’t get. The same applies to someone who reaches your site through an organic search result, email or social media. It’s important that your content matches the intent of the keyword. In the example below, you can see the results for the keyword “how do you start a blog post” But none of the ads have anything to do with my search. They are all about starting a blog, not writing a blog post. I clicked on the third result, and here’s the landing page they offer: Weebly is one of the largest website builders, yet in this case, their ad is completely irrelevant to what I was looking for, which is blog post writing tips. How do you think this affects their bounce rate? Make sure your title tags and meta descriptions paint an honest picture of what your pages are about. As the saying goes, underpromise and overdeliver. Step – Improve Internal Linking I have already shown you how implementing the right internal linking strategy will improve rankings. But besides the direct SEO benefits, internal linking allows people to visit more pages on your site, thus lowering your bounce rate. The goal of your internal links should be to invite people to look further on your site. Your internal links can be contextual (i.e., those that show up in a sentence), or separated from your content, like the ones shown at the bottom of this article. For example, here’s one contextual link taken from the internal linking article: And here’s an example of three non-contextual internal links: If you have a blog or a niche site, you can add “Related articles” at the end of your content like I do on the blog using this plugin. When linking contextually, think about other pages that people could be interested in. If you have an e-commerce store, think about adding a “Related products” at the end of your product pages. Actually if you have an ecommerce store you should implement my day ecommerce SEO strategy. Look at how Asos uses three different types of related product recommendations- One for shopping the whole look (which adds more relevance to the recommendations) One that’s based on your preferences One based on recently viewed products If your design includes a sidebar, like the case of The Next Web, then include links that everyone should read. For example, if you have one article you know that has high engagement or a high conversion rate, make sure to add it. I do this with the Super Post plugin on the blog but you’ll notice my blog posts don’t have a sidebar – just my home page, archive pages and static pages do. Step – Optimize Your Site For Mobile As I showed you in my recent post about Googles new SEO starter guide, mobile organic traffic has accounted for 0.% of all web traffic generated worldwide. If someone visits your site from a phone and it’s not mobile optimized, they will have a horrible experience which will lead to a bounce or negative pogo stick signal. Most WordPress themes (including my Authority theme) are responsive and mobile-friendly. But I highly suggest you browse your site on both a smartphone and a tablet to see how it looks. A recent study by ConversionXL showed that when Bullymax optimized their site for mobile, they got a purchase conversion rate uplift of .%- What’s more, They also saw an increase in their search engine traffic after making their site mobile-friendly- So pull out your phone or tablet and check your mobile experience right now. You will be surprised at what gets through the cracks! Step – Make Your Content Easy To Read One of the biggest contributors to a high bounce rate is badly written content. But what is badly written content? It’s not really got anything to do with grammar or spelling mistakes but it’s more about how that content engages people. Does the content match the intent of the keyword? And if it does – does the content engage people enough for them to click through to other parts of your site? For that to happen you need to make sure your content is easy to read and draws people in. If you have read my content for some time, you know that all my paragraphs are short, easy to read, and clearly written. You can do that by doing things like- Adding sub headings Adding images Making text bold/italic/underlined Adding bullet pointed lists (like this one) Breaking your content down into smaller pieces And contrary to popular SEO advice: Once I finish writing an article, during the editing process I try to reduce the word count as much as possible while adding value at the same time. You can find an analysis of your writing by checking the results Yoast SEO gives you at bottom of your posts. You don’t need to achieve the perfect score here (I never do) but you wants to try and get a green light on the majority of points. While the plugin says there are two problems in my article, what matters isn’t to get a perfect score, but to get the majority of the points in green. You could also take advantage of some of these SEO copywriting techniques to help keep people hooked! Just take a look at how Steve Kamb of NerdFitness writes the intro in this article: It’s emotional, it’s appealing, and it creates suspense on how to achieve the same results as the subject of the article. There are more techniques you can use in your intros, including the Agree-Promise-Preview (APP) Model and The Bridge Model. Whatever technique you use, having a catchy intro is a great way of sucking people into your site. Step – Make Your Site Faster If your site is slow, people will bounce. Fact. Not only that but it’s costing you more money than you realise. Decreasing my site’s load speed time by . seconds allowed me to earn $0, in just hours. To increase your page speed, run your website through GTMetrix. GTMetrix will give you a breakdown of your page, its loading time, and the problems it encountered loading it. The best part is that if you click on each problem, you will get a specific analysis of the files it had problems loading. If you need help improving your site speed, first you should also use a plugin like W Total Cache, which allows you to optimise your site’s page speed in a few minutes without spending a penny. You can turbo charge that even further by using a Content Delivery Network like MaxCDN. And if you are really serious about increasing your site speed (you should be) then use a good host like WPXhosting or Kinsta (who host this blog), which will have a huge impact on your site speed. Step – Add Clear Call To Actions You can have a beautifully-designed page, but if it doesn’t have a clear call-to-action (CTA) you will be doing damage to your bounce rate. Every page on your site should have a specific goal in mind, for example- A homepage that leads to a sign up trial, a lead magnet download, or a piece of content A blog post that provides a lead magnet or content upgrade An about us page that leads to a page where you show case studies from other clients I visited the homepage of my favorite backlink checker on the planet, Ahrefs– Not only is the title and description fantastic but the CTA is above-the-fold, it contrasts with the rest of the page and offers a clear benefit at a low price. Obviously people are going to click through at a high rate because its both highly relevant and the most obvious thing to do on the page. Make sure all your pages and posts have at least one CTA, even if you find it hard to find one that’s relevant – adding something is better than nothing. It’s easy to imagine that a product page has a “Add to bag” button, like the case of Asos. Your “About us” page should lead to a contact form for your services, a popular and profitable piece of content or a category page with your most widely shopped products. Your blog posts should lead to your content upgrades or lead magnets backed up with an email marketing strategy All of these things will not only lower your bounce rate, but increase your conversions and profits as well. Wrapping It Up So now you know how to lower your bounce rate, what are you waiting for? Because you are literally losing traffic and profits every single day that you are not optimising your bounce rate. Here are quick ways you can get started today: Use Google Analytics to find which pages have the highest bounce rate that alsorecieve a large % of your sites traffic – focus on these pages first. Install Inspectlet to begin analyzing how your visitors interact with those pages. Based on the heatmap analysis, improve your site to make it easier to use. Run your site on GTMetrix and check for any problems that slow down your site. Install W Total Cache and use MaxCDN. You might want to change to a faster host like WPXhosting or Kinsta (who host this blog). Run your site through the Google Mobile-Friendly Test and fix any problems the tool finds. If you see your site isn’t responsive at all, it’s easier to change to a Worpdress theme that is. Once you have taken care of those foundation problems you can focus on adding call to actions, making your content easier to read and improving internal linking. But until then don’t forget: Every day you are ignoring your bounce rate, you are losing traffic. Which change has had the biggest impact on bounce rate for you?
