    I would image for your type of site would want around 20. I may be wrong though.

    Bounce rates vary considerably dependant in the style on of your site.

    What is your current bounce rate?

    After looking at your site again I think you need more content. Most people looking at a site like yours would be looking for up to date gossip and breaking news. You only really have info everyone know already.

    30 to 40 is good bounce rate, try to keep this much. To decrease the bounce rate you have to add more content. Check the website download time in different browser. Check broken links and resolve if there are.

    To reduce bounce rate, add something like "Related Posts" or Random Posts at the sidebar so people can see what more can they read/access on your site

    I believe that the ideal bounce rate is not greater than 50%. Check on your visitor's activity, time on site and which page they most likely to exit.. improve those things to get a better stats

    i would say 30-35%. Look into what keywords are giving you a high bounce rate and look into why and see if removing that keyword and replacing will it improve.

    if you want to reduce bounce rate then you should insert some interesting stuff or some good content into your website. it will reduce the bounce rate.

    I can never get my bounce rate below 70. I have good content but still trying to figure out how.

    Content is king, to reduce your bounce rate you need more content that your readers can interact with, I have found putting video on my most viewed pagers has increased page view times as well as reducing bounce rate

    Bounce rate depends on the site. for a squeeze page you may have a bounce rate of 100% which is normal
    But, if we are not talking about a squeeze page and its about a normal site then its better to have a bounce rate below 50%
    You can reduce your bounce rate by adding more useful stuff to the site which will help in both bounce rate as well as increasing serp

    30% to 40% is a good bounce rate..Above 60% needs attention and the site or content needs to be reviewed.
