How to triple user engagement overnight

Hey Everyone!

I just managed to triple my user engagement in one simple move went from an average of 1.5 pages per visit to 4.5 on an ecomerce site.

The trick was for 5 days I bugged out my product pages so they gave 404 errors allowing my users to load pages over and over trying to buy the product. Great for analytics now if only I could turn that into increased sales instead of zeroing out....

Keep this in mind if you ever get to focused on your analytics sales are the only metric that matters.

Hmmm, not sure what to say but fine. Seems like its time for Google to devalue bounce rate.

Your site is not really engaging since you are faking it, so stop deluding yourself into thinking otherwise. Btw, what you did is really silly and won't benefit your site because number of pages visited doesn't affect your rankings.

Continue this trick and I'm sure we will see a new thread "How to lose user engagement overnight".

did you check your analytics, crawl errors and finally serps...seopower is spot on...your content needs to enthrall buyers to stay on site and look deeper...idea of an ecom site is to sell...not to look good in stats!
