Leverage the Power of Your Blog!

All bloggers love to see traffic to their own blog…of course!

But what happens when a visitor finally decides to visit your blog’s homepage; not just the preview but they actually go to the trouble to visit your site “in person” by visiting the url of your site; what then?

You have gone to so much trouble adding content and graphics in the hopes of attracting lots of visitors but then you realize your “bounce rate” is very high – that is, you realize that your visitors are simply visiting for a few seconds and then running away!

This could be for a variety of reasons; perhaps your visitor is too busy, maybe they are not interested in your content, maybe they just don’t like the look of it…we know that this happens…we have probably done it ourselves; we see the blog of the day; pay the site a quick visit and then move on.

Is there any way to get a second chance at presenting this traffic with your message? We do it all the time in person don’t we? It’s that momentary “Oh, by the way….”

“Oh by the way, can I call you later?”
“Oh by the way, how is your sister doing these days?”
“Oh by the way, have you seen this?”

You may have already guessed where I am going with this…the dreaded exit splash! Why do websites (and people) use these annoying “Oh-by-the-way” messages? For one simple reason!….

They work!

We may not like them, but we see them all the time in person, on television and on the web. They give you a second chance to present your message that you hope will provide value to your visitor.

Up until now, most WordPress blogs did not have this capability; but all that is about to change. You can now tap you visitor on the shoulder as they leave your site with your personalized by-the-way message. (Visit my blog for a sample!)

Let me know! ~ Do you love it? Hate it? Don’t know what it is? Think it is a nuisance or a valuable method to leverage the power of your blog? I want to know!

I am sure some bloggers can’t wait to get their hands on such a valuable script; other may cry in disgust…whether it’s controversial or not let’s hear from all the dedicated bloggers out there on your opinion!
