    Thats almost suspiciously low. Because even health insurance sign-up landing pages have around a 25% bounce rate, and if you don't have health insurance you're going to die... just sayin'.

    Seems like you might have a flaw somewhere in your site setup. 5% seems impossible

    you can decrease it by getting targeted visitors and a new site idea . Spamming makes bounce rate go high , so better keep at quality traffic sources related to your idea .

    Please pardon my ignorance (or maybe laziness) but thought you guys maybe able to enlighten me better than swotting it! I'm not sure I understand this bounce rate thing. What precisely is the Bounce rate?

    @Cereus - I think it is a good problem (flaw) to have if this is the problem and knowing what the problem is can only be good for the community in terms of improving bounce rates.

    @weathor - Is there a correlation between the age/visitors of a site and the bounce rates a site receives?

    @Elberengy - what do you mean by "new site idea". Also are you suggesting the quality of the visitors helps reduce the bounce rate?

    @mindee ,

    yes visitors quality reduce bounce rate if they are targeted and not from spamming , Design of the site and what it provides also lowers the bounce rate if it's cool , No ads. on Homepage also lower the bounce rate .

    5% is extremely good for a bounce rate. Anything over 50% should need addressing really.

    You are one of the very few to achieve a bounce rate that low.

    5% for 120 visitors is nothing.

    have you ever see 1.86% BR?

    for the site with about 20 mils pageviews, 1.5 mill visits, 150k uniques, all per month.

    OP got banned. I wonder why.

    Anyways, I still believe 5% bounce rate seems impossible even for the best sites out there. I know some good bloggers, who gets 1,000 to 10,000 page views but having 50% bounce rate and I also know some newbie bloggers who gets 10 visitors a day and yet with 60% bounce rate.

    My point is, bounce rate is just that...hovering around 50 percent, anything less is good and 25% is excellent already.
