Category Label in Sidebar Important or Not ?
Posted under: 
After checking stats via Google Analytics I have decided to make some changes on my site. I made some renovation with this blog. This is to improve my SEO ( Search Engine Optimization )Â as well as to fulfill my aim to reduce my bounce rate. Currently I am having about 75% Bounce rate based on Google Analytics. If I can pull this down to 50%, it will be a good indication that what I am doing is good. My plans are mentioned below :
- I will remove the category links at the sidebar , This is because I have been influenced in by this post [ What Every Blogger Needs To know about categories ] , With this I could be able to follow the suggestion of most SEO practitioner , That in order for your site crawl to be effective BOT should find your content in only 2 to 3 clicks.
- I will make Must Read Articles at my Side Bar ( To Do )
- Blogging Articles both for basic and for advance users ( To Do )
- I will feature also the great SEO Tips that I made. ( To Do )

I could almost see the result of this experiment where you have maintained a few selected categories on your side bar.
@Fibonacci,
Ha ha ha ha.. I am just limiting the leak on my blogs and to concentrate on those categories shown in my sidebar
@ Fitz,
Thanks for the concern I will have to contact the one who made the theme maybe they can do something about it..

Wow! You also have a high bounce rate. That’s my problem too. Fixing the sidebar. After you have done yours, I will pattern mine after you. bwahhaa. 🙂
