If you're really conversant with my blog since the first day I started running techshouters.com.ng you will noticed that I have deleted some of my blog posts which caused a big problems to my blog.

I wasn't know the consequences until I received mail from Google search console where they stated that my blog is getting 100% bounce rate. I was like OMG!

Though it doesn't affect my organic ranking but bounce rate kills blog. Why? Because, visitors no longer spend much time reading your blog posts.

Once they visit your blog and noticed that there is little or no explanation on what they are looking for, they will hover to another blog instantly. Sometimes, going out of point also causes bounce rate. But deleting a blog post causes the major effects.

The same thing happened to your visitors when they are looking for a particular information from your blog and they finally find out that the information is no longer existing in your blog
