    Hi,

    My new websites only seem to have 70~80% bounce rate.
    I was wondering what the average bounce rate is ?? And what's yours ?

    My new site, UGLYSOB.com, started around 88%. Over the past month, I've gotten it to 53%.

    Question: what percentage of your links are external vs internal?

    70%~80% consider high bounce rate. The average bounce rate is about 50%

    bounce is the % of single page visits or visits by user and left your site with in some time

    Anything above 60% is decent.

    If you're using a landing page with a high converting sales letter then you should have anywhere between 60% - 80%.

    In the end all that matters apart from profit is to send people to the vendor's offer and get as many eye balls on it.

    Start building a list and you'll see the numbers slowly climbing.

    I have found the bounce rate definitely depends on the content. For example, I have an image site that has a bounce rate of 95%, and a video site that has a bounce rate of 20%.

    Another tactic to drop your bounce rate is to increase the average page views.

    Bounce rate on my site is 58%, which is rather high. Decent bounce rate is between 20% to 30%.
