Site with almost 0% Bounce Rate

Discussion in 'Google Analytics' started by coopersPick, Jan 25, 2011.

    Just wanted to get thoughts since I checked on a site we made last summer and havent really had any time to even check it out and looked at the analytics from the past 15 days and had a 0% bounce rate than checked for the past month and only have a bounce rate of 3.15% albeit at a tiny smidgen of visitors but still I think thats a sign of a sticky site since 0 hit we're from me.

    So I guess my other question is how can I get this site into the 3 ring blog network or LOL Cats type of network to start monetizing it?

    Oh btw site is Funny Ride Photos

    **image isnt working will try to upload picture of analytics as proof later tonight.

    How tiny is a "tiny smidgen" of visitors?

    You could be referring to 5 or 10 visitors which might just be you or someone who happens to know your website and browsed through a couple of pages.

    Although having a 'small' percentage of bounce rate with photo websites are quite normal, given that people will most likely tend to browse and browse more 'interesting' photos that they can find.

    Not sure why bounce rate is even relevant, although it does confirm that people who found your site are interested. You could sprinkle in adsense before each picture, and make the links look as natural as possible (just the tagline, no text under it).

    The only relevant affiliate program I could think of would be something for travel, where visitors can book a trip to the featured amusement park in the photo (Orbitz has an affiliate program, but I'm not sure how much it pay). Otherwise, the site looks good, just too much white space.

    this is not first happened when you have a 0% bounce rate. this is good for you. bounce rate refer to if some one or visitor is less than 5 sec at your site .

    visitors per month is 300 or so not a ton but enough uniques to have a significantly low bounce to notice you might be onto something sticky right?

    Are you sure analytics are installed correctly?

    Same as above. I'd say replace your analytics code, it's wrong most likely.

    bounce rate for a site can not be zero.If your site have some visits then site must have bounce rate.

    it is not 5 second... it is "The percentage of visits where the visitor enters and exits at the same page without visiting any other pages on the site in between."

    I always wondered what bounce rate meant. I've heard 5 or 7 seconds. And also heard just visited that one page and left. But what if they visit one page for 2 minutes then leave? How can that count the same as a user that leaves within 2 seconds?

    Well thats the best practice your website the minimum the page bounce ratio is the more the visitors are searching in your website and making moves.
