In an effort to make my site a little more IE6 friendly a month ago today I changed my RSS buttons and my main logo from PNG to GIF.  My logo was originally in low res PNG so it worked fine in IE6, but my RSS buttons were not. That means my RSS buttons were not looking very good to  about 10% of you.

So after the change how did it change my numbers? Looking at only IE6 users, comparing this month to last, it basically made only one significant change. Average time on site increased by 14%. Worth mentioning? I don’t know. Comparing to IE 7 and IE8 numbers there was little to no change in time on site so something changed for IE6 users.

Looking at the other browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and a few others, numbers went up. It could all be due to a combination of many things I have done all for the common goal of reducing the bounce. A month ago today though, my goal was to improve things for IE6 users, and it looks as though I have succeeded. Ready to jump into PNG? I’m leaving it only for the posts and pages, not the templates.
