43% is a great bounce rate, it shows you are receiving targeted traffic. When the bounce rate is high it means your traffic is untargeted or your webpage doesn't convert.
50% bounce rate is the ideal and yours falls below which is more than ideal. it goes to show that 4 out 10 people visiting your site stayed and check out more pages in there
That's nice buddy you can check and track previous data too .By this you can know from where you got new bounce .
My bounce rate is just around 20% and member conversion rate of 75% on a Social network (6 months old). But Google punished my site for fast link building i guess. So my website keeps jumping between page1 and page6 now-a-days. It brings my website on Page1 for an hour or so every day.
Bounce rate depends on the type of site you have. For example, forums must have low bounce rate. Anyway, I think a bounce rate below 60% is good.
under 50% is a good bounce rate. That means people find your site interesting and don't just leave on the home page
Yes it is good, but I agree that you shouldn't accept that as good enough. You should always be working at improving conversion rates and bounce rates. Some websites do extensive trial and error testing to see what works best. They are always trying to tweak every little thing on the page. Focus on some of these things to get better bounce rates: -fast loading pages that are 100% compatible with all web browsers and operating systems -easy to use navigation -calls to action and cross selling -professional looking website design -good use of colors and fonts to draw the eye to the right parts of each page -easy to read/scan text -avoiding anything misleading in your page titles and meta descriptions -focusing on very targeted keywords These are just some ideas, but there are probably a hundred other things you could do to improve bounce rates.
Forums have highest bounce rate ever. Blogs are a little better. The best bounce rate I have is on a glitter graphics site which gets about 20% bounce rate.
