Do viewers tend to bounce away from your website quickly? Here are a few tips on how to entice your visitors to be more like Eeyore than Tigger and stick around for a while on your site.
Figure out from where your visitor's come. Google Antalytics is great for finding what keywords are used to get to your site. You might need to tweak some of the keywords on your site.
Make sure your website is not cluttered and has a strong message. Too much information can make a viewer skip away quicker than if your site is streamlined and clean.
Keep pages simple. If you're selling a product, make the product page about the product, with photos, details and ordering information. If you're talking about a specific subject, then make sure the page is dedicated to that topic and keep irrelevant data off the page.

The Importance of Websites
For those who might think social media is better than websites, along comes an article that debunks that idea. "5 Solid Reasons Why Facebook Does Not Matter More Than Your Company Website" talks about how a website relating to your company helps your business more than a social media presence.
The writer's main point is that Facebook and other social media enhances your online presence but shouldn't take the place of a website. Even if your business is yourself (i.e., you're a freelancer or contract worker for hire), having a professional website is a must.
