    Bounce rate 100% usually means a website which loads all its pages inline without giving them unique URLs. Usually flash pages which parse XML (or not).
    A bounce rate of 50% is mostly pretty good.

     A bounce occurs when a web site visitor only views a single page on a website, that is, the visitor leaves a site without visiting any other pages before a specified session-timeout occurs. There is no industry standard minimum or maximum time by which a visitor must leave in order for a bounce to occur. Rather, this is determined by the session timeout of the analytics tracking software.
