I think Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who enter a site and then leave immediately without visiting the deep links or other pages of the website. Bounce rate very from page to page or a website to another one.
And it is true that there is no proper scale to measure the bounce rate but we can minimize this rate up to maximum…

Thanks

John — yes, you said that correctly. However, this is a very old blogpost, and in the interim, Google Analytics has created other “things” that interrupt a bounce, such as an event. If they hung around to look at a video and you had that video event-coded, it would not be a bounce. HTH

So if i had a website, where all my articles were all readable on the homepage,ie they scrolled down to read, then although they have been on there for x amount of time, it counts as a bounce?

Hi Sheet Metal. Bounce rate is usually considered a measure of badness, although like all of life, that can depend. A bounce happens when someone visits your site and leaves without doing another thing – usually that means, looking at another page, but in GA, triggering an event will also mean that they “did something” and no bounce occurs.

Even if someone looks at your site for 10 minutes and leaves without doing something else, they still bounced. Also, their time on the page will not be measured until the web analytics have another “something” to measure against, because time on page is measured as the difference between entry to page A and entry to page B.

I’m also SEO person but don’t know much about the Bounce rate. I think these are the number of people who visit your site. If the people are increasing in the site then it means the bounce rate is good but it is necessary that the visitor view the site more than 30 seconds.

I agreed with you “Krabi” that there is no proper scale to measure the bounce rate but we can minimize this rate up to maximum. Sometime we do not pay proper consideration in writing content. The right way is that…while you are writing content of your website then do not depend on or right for search and do keywords stuffing. It (content) should be informative and attractive.

Thank you Robbin for sharing this great post and keep it up!

Only website text or content can help you in this situation when your web page bounce is more than 50%. It true there is no proper standard available to check the bounce rate. while you are writing your website content then focused on customer desire, make your text easy to read and try to convey your message to the visitor in short space to time.
