    Hi,

    Bounce rate has been mostly an ignored metric as more and more people are now behind acquiring authoritative backlinks while the website conversion remains low due to various internal factors like poor UI & UX, loading time, etc

    What are your thoughts on Bounce rate and how to reduce it?

    if you want that client happy with bounce rate decrease use anlytics script 2 time :p if you want serious about bounce rate yes this one is really serious metrics that's why people use diffrent technique to check why user leave the site. There is many reason to increase bounce rate the main is slow loading time because in fast world no one can wait more than 2 to 5 second and other reason is poor development.

    Increasing of bounce rate means the customers are not navigating the website properly this will result to decrease the interest of the customer to your website. Many factor is responsible for increasing the bounce rate of your website.

    Surely this cannot be something you can be penalized for by the search engines? I would have thought other factors came first in terms of loading time, content quality etc, let alone backlinks themselves.

    I tend to find that having a static homepage that is strictly related to your topic/niche dramatically decrease bounce rate IMO. A few pictures also never goes a miss.

    Bounce rate of your website is the % people land on your website and don't click another link into your website.

    To decrease your bouncerate for comercial websites you need:

    1. Optimizing Thought Sequences
    a- where am I
    b- what can I do here
    c- how do I get starded

    Use tag line and headline - answers 1a and 1b

    2. Start with short interesting paragraph
    a - 2-3 line max
    b - who you are
    c - what you do
    d - how you can help them
    e - how they can starded

    Most common mistakes:

    - your website is to cluttered
    - to many options offered
    - to small font size (16 px is the best one)
    - font color - use only black font on white background
    - autoplay (videos, flash etc)
    - big block of text
    - no navigation menu
