What steps have you taken to reduce the bounce rate of your company website? That is, when a user visits your home or any of your inner pages, are there any elements (or lack thereof) that might cause them to quickly lose interest, leave, and click through to one of your competitors?

Aside from implementing user-minded navigation, text, graphics, and other elements of your homepage, how else can you ensure that your website is not only enticing and functional, but accessible to each and every one of your users?

So you've assembled some thoughtfully written original content, how do you protect it from plagiarism? Or how do make certain that your article writing services or bloggers are delivering content that has not been poached from somewhere else?
