Totally agree. I embedded a video from an association that governs my industry and people watch it. Very simple, he is right. Make sure that the video is from an authority in your industry, as in someone, other than you. More people will hang around longer and you will get more calls.
Got disconnected from mobile for a month. While returning to channel I feel like ‘return to school’. Love u guys 🙏🏻❤️ missed you Neil but won’t anymore.
I started embedding video on my blog posts after creating videos on certain topics. Next step will be to increase existing blog posts over time to get over 1000, 2000, even 3000 words where possible.
Neil thanks for the permission, I think it is a great idea and will most likely embed some of your vids cause your content will help my clients as well 👍
It's worth noting that before you try to improve a page's bounce rate, you need to know if it's *worth* improving. A page that provides a thorough answer to a simple question is likely going to see a high bounce rate no matter what you do. Obvious disclaimer: exceptions, put in context, look at other metrics, yadda yadda yadda. Another great video BTW!
Great ideas. Really I loving your video content and article. I don't want to miss your newly published content. I don't know how I reached your blog. But I am feeling proud to be among your followers
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and they help however I am stumped.. For the first time, I am not converting for the company that I work for. The service we provide is amazing and helps small business owners save tons of money and time. I haven't gotten one conversion, but I am getting landing page views. I have videos, magnets, more buttons that give them more information. Do you offer any private sessions that could help our company start converting? Love to send you the info on my landing page and ad's, maybe it's something small that I am doing wrong. Thanks again for your videos here online I have learned a lot!
I don't offer private sessions like that, unfortunately. Have you tried testing different things? New copy, new landing pages, new imagery, changing the checkout page, etc?
Loved the video Neil. I honestly had no idea about this and I felt that it’s a kind of plagiarism. I did this before but didn’t know I am doing it right 😅. Thanks so much 🙏
Would you recommend promoting a Facebook ad conversion offer to the product page OR to a landing page that requests their email and then email them the link to the product?
Why not both? Seriously though, those two scenarios represent two different business goals: 1) promoting a product, 2) building an email list for targeted/drip marketing. Make two campaigns with multiple ads *each* so you can A/B test. That said, NO ONE is going to give you an address just to be sent an email for products. You have to give them something in return. For example, let's say you're a gardening supply company. An effective campaign *might* be "Never let a plant die again", and the landing page provides a free PDF with tips on plant care that will ensure they survive that gets sent via email. THAT'S when you follow up with emails featuring your products (after sending them the PDF of course).
Joshua Weikel I see what you mean. I guess I could also have the landing page solution as a pop-up to collect the email and then use it as re-targeting FB ad.
Hi Neil! You are giving excellent tips for blog marketing and SEO but can you please also provide some tips and tricks for Fiverr SEO? I have recently started a freelancing business and the SEO of ranking your profile seems very vague. It feels like it is not in our hands. Thank you so much for you hard work!
I have a question, Neil. Hope you include it in the next episode. I have an eCommerce site and want to offer customers an informational freebie to help them in the buying process, so I tried using HelloBar since you recommended it. But I'm torn on what template to select. I know you use the exit pop-up with the Google SERP background, but I was worried that people on mobile wouldn't see it properly. What's the best HelloBar template (or any opt-in for a freebie) that will work on desktop, tablet, and mobile and won't look odd?
Thanks for this great tutorial, I have a question though, will the youtube embeds hurt my post seo? I am asking this because I have heard many experts say that s should be avoided inside posts as far as possible. That' the reasons why I have removed all videos from my website posts and replaced them with links.
Hi Neil, thank you for the vid. When I embed a youtube video the script requests slow down the site, do you have any suggestions for embedding youtube vid without slowing down the load time? Thank you. Pete Goodsky
Question: When you embed someone video on your webpage should you ask for permission? I am new and would like more people to stay longer on my page. I have been watching your videos and that has been a big help. Also planning more content posting too. 2020 is going to be a good year for me.
@@neilpatel Thanks because I love sharing information about companies, products or tips. If I use anything that is not my own, I give credit where credit is due. Your videos have helped me learn a lot and now with a New Year, I can't wait to see what it has in store for me by applying it to my website.
Hi Neil, I cannot find any tips on targeting investment vehicles to an older demographic? I am using bing paid advertisement, not allowed to use google or Facebook! Thank you
Hello Neil sir i am working in multiple niches like health, education , lifestyle etc... I mixed that all in one site will it have any bad effect or no effect plz answer
There may be some sort of technical issue with your site or your GA account! Is your Google Analytics tracking code installed twice? That could be causing the issue.
Hey Neil, We want to know which hosting plan and provider is you are using right now on your website.? Is it bluehost or something else. Which hosting provider is better for a WordPress website having about 10 Millon monthly users.?? We want clarification in details. Help us.
Hey Neil, On my blog, the average user spends around 4 minutes on a page, but my bounce rate is around 80-90%, I want to know which is more important For SEO, Average Time on Page OR Bounce Rate?
with 4 minutes average time you can consider one this -- Majority audience coming to your website isn't well targeted as 4 minutes is pretty good so the bounce back rate has to be improved as the least amount of people giving 4 minutes average time ain't gonna keep give you enough SEO ranking as competitors will work harder to gain more of them
They are both important. I can't say one is more important than the other. Try working on internal linking and adding CTAs on your pages that drive people to other relevant articles on your site.
I have heard somewhere that you can add some kind of script to a website or blog to reduce bounce rate is it true and useful or just a traffic getting and engagement building trick of someone who promoting this method
I would focus more on creating amazing content that will keep people on your site naturally and not try to trick Google into thinking they are staying.
Figure out the keywords in your space that people in the US are searching and analyze the content that is ranking for those keywords. From there, start creating content that will compete ;)
This can have sooooo many reasons.... Is this web funnel for first time customers? If so: don't do that... first of all always always build TRUST, your clients need to know you are willing to give them great information and service. Have a great list, providing useful information, don't immediately start selling. This is a common mistake many make. It takes time before people trust you and there is a lot competition, the loan industry is also one that needs a reliability make over... because of the many scams. So a 5 steps web funnel, unless it is really great, which it isn't because you have such a high bounce rate, might be a bit over the top. Make sure you build trust, be the expert that is willing to provide free service, helping your subscribers, solving their problems, doubts and answering their questions.
Test everything. Like Anja mentioned, there could be a lot of reasons. Talk to folks that go through your funnel so you can understand what works and what doesn't.
@@Anja1111 I send ads clicks to the homepage, where users can know more about the company, rates, testimoniales and more. What you suggest about help and deliver great content is what I already explained to my client, but they insist so much in hard sell content. It's a challenge now for me to evangelize them. thanks a lot.
@@neilpatel Hi, So far I know most of them do not fulfill all loan requirements. So now that's visible from the ads. I'll should go deeper on that. Thank you!
Videos are dominating the online landscape and by 2021, depending on how their popularity and engagement rate has risen, it is predicted that they will probably surpass any other form of content there is. What do you think Adam and Neil, is there a possibility of this happening? Also, Adam was right '0 - 100 real quick' was Drake's song and not 50 Cent's. ;)
I saw your interview the other day where you talked about your mistake with kissmetrics. You spent a million on development and later realized that nobody NEEDS the product. My question is, if you already created crazyegg with a successful strategy in which you asked for feedback and did iterations over 6 months and got a waiting list of 10,000 people, why didn't you do the same later with kissmetrics?
To be honest? That isn't going to happen. Be realistic with your traffic goals and start building your traffic the right way by focusing on SEO and content marketing.
From 100 to 100k in 2 Months you need to use advertisement as any other organic way for this to work won't be enough to handle unless you have a strong to assign proper social media targeting post and comments along with generating backlinks and dealing with other websites within your niche to get visiters
Almost nobody is willing to read 3000 words of content. Keep it at a max of 1500 or somewhere close... and make sure to write in an easy to understand and entertaining way Farhan Sheikh Ahmad!
Sorry, Anja, but I disagree. 3,000 words is a lot but there are many people that are more than willing to read. And the people who don't want to read that much will still skim through to see what it is about. The chances of ranking an article with 3,000 words are much higher than one that is a max of 1,500.
No problem Neil, I think it is also niche related.I'm in the personal development, and split tested this several times. Articles up to 2000 words had the lowest bounce rate in my case, and the ones below 1500 were even lower in bounce rate about the same topic with equal keywords (in competition and monthly searches). Longer ones just don't work for me, even when I add beautiful pictures and/or videos ;-) I rank very easy in my country with my Dutch website as there are not many in my niche that understand SEO well. I know what Google Loves and what my readers Love :-) But I can imagine in the SEO niche this is different, because it's harder to rank & most peeps are motivated once they trust you. So maybe we're both right hehe! 😎😁👍 However this was more than a year ago I split tested, so I might give it a go to write a few 3000+ words articles for very easy to rank keywords and popular topics. I Love to write those...
That way i see it depends on what kind of niche the content belongs. Also, no one wants to read the content. Its a challenge on us that how we make them read not just 3000 word content but even 6000 word content. Same comes with the videos, no matter what time duration video do you create, the main challenge is to make people watch most of it. This is why the Bounce rate for Google and Average view duration in UA-cam are one of the major ranking factors. And when you beat these up, you end up becoming a name like Neil, Rand, Brian, etc etc
Totally agree. I embedded a video from an association that governs my industry and people watch it. Very simple, he is right. Make sure that the video is from an authority in your industry, as in someone, other than you. More people will hang around longer and you will get more calls.

I have a question, Neil. Hope you include it in the next episode.
I have an eCommerce site and want to offer customers an informational freebie to help them in the buying process, so I tried using HelloBar since you recommended it. But I'm torn on what template to select. I know you use the exit pop-up with the Google SERP background, but I was worried that people on mobile wouldn't see it properly. What's the best HelloBar template (or any opt-in for a freebie) that will work on desktop, tablet, and mobile and won't look odd?
If I were you I would test multiple ones to see what works. Each audience is different and reacts differently. Test to see what works best ;)

Hi neil is text spacing and line height help to improve bounce rate?
Not from my experience
Hey Neil! Great Content!
What is your recommendation on Exit Intent popups? Are they useful to reduce the bounce rate?
Thank you
I think they can work very well
Hey Neil, what do you think are the most important things for a Social Media Marketing Agency to do before starting up?
Specialize in one main niche and dominate. This way you are the best "real estate social agency" or best "law office social agency."
Question: When you embed someone video on your webpage should you ask for permission? I am new and would like more people to stay longer on my page. I have been watching your videos and that has been a big help. Also planning more content posting too. 2020 is going to be a good year for me.

Hello Neil sir i am working in multiple niches like health, education , lifestyle etc... I mixed that all in one site will it have any bad effect or no effect plz answer
You should keep each site to one niche. Mixing niches is not good for SEO
Okay sir
One of my travel website has zero bounce rate. So, Is there any issue? Plz suggest me possible way to overcome this
There may be some sort of technical issue with your site or your GA account! Is your Google Analytics tracking code installed twice? That could be causing the issue.

Hey Neil, i want to ask you a question apart from the video. My question is that ''If the domain .info is bad for a affiliate website'' ?
.com is always better but it isn't bad to have a different one
@@neilpatel Alright , thank you so much 😊
Do we have to get their permission before embedding?
No, you don't need permission to embed video. It is nice to link to the original content and the author if you are using their content though.
Super valuable
Thank you!
If i put a video into my articles, it slows down my site almost to 1 second. Any hack on that?
I haven't noticed a difference. Are you embedding them directly into WP?
I am thinking about to write a blog on seo and give example of neil patel through video. Grant permission! :)
He Won't mind just give a follow up link.
I am sure he will be Ok with it
How can we get visitors from social media to our site, without links? It would be really nice get traffics and reach at the same time.
What's wrong with adding links to social?
your reach drops significantly. And I want to avoid that.
If the page about lead generation what could be the best way to reduce the bounce rate

Nice video sir I am following your videos
Thanks a lot!
Is my blog better served with video posts, written, a mix of both, or it doesn't matter?
Mix is always good. Try testing to see what works best for your audience.
Can i rank a KW with high competition without links? I mean only with good content, good SEO on page and high CTR in SERPs.
It is possible. Links help for sure, but they aren't the only factor when it comes to ranking.
Hey Neil,

Write as much as you can. Read about copywriting and implement what you learn. Practice helps the most.
How do you think I can improve 5 steps web funnel for a loan website? I just can' t reduce bounce rate and increase step 5 leads.
This can have sooooo many reasons.... Is this web funnel for first time customers? If so: don't do that... first of all always always build TRUST, your clients need to know you are willing to give them great information and service.

Also, Adam was right '0 - 100 real quick' was Drake's song and not 50 Cent's. ;)
Only time will tell. However, I don't see written content going anywhere anytime soon.

How to increase monthly traffic from 100 to 100k in 2 months please briefly answer my question
To be honest? That isn't going to happen. Be realistic with your traffic goals and start building your traffic the right way by focusing on SEO and content marketing.
From 100 to 100k in 2 Months you need to use advertisement as any other organic way for this to work won't be enough to handle unless you have a strong to assign proper social media targeting post and comments along with generating backlinks and dealing with other websites within your niche to get visiters
