Bounce Rate?

Bounce rate is the % of users who come to your website that see only the landing page they arrive on (ie the % of users who only see 1 page).

 

I heard some where that Bounce Rate is a rate of traffic accompanied through Keyword Density from Search Engines!

 

Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance page.

 

I think this is the best answer....

 

But 60% means that 60% all users are on our site only for one moment is it not?

 

Jezzz where did you find this info please?

 

its depend on your location!!!

 

This is the basic equation. But each analyzing company may modify it slightly to make it more practical.

 

I think it divides the number of visitors that hit the back button by the number of overall visitors.

so if 134 people out of 500 people hit the back button, your bounce rate is: 26.8%

This is how it was explained to me anyways...

And PS - I don't think time really gets taken into account because on one of my pages there is a really high bounce rate but the time is also high and google seems to like having that page ranked highly so I assume most of those people are reading my article and then leaving after they've got what they needed.

 

thanks cosmolito sounds about right actually.

 

% of visitors that visited one page only

 

Wow, this sure got complicated. If two different people hit you site (wherever you might be tracking), and one of them clicks on another link to you site to look around further and the other leaves without going to any other pages (either back button, bookmark, whatever), then your bounce rate is 50%. I was mainly interested in seeing what was a decent bounce rate. Mine runs a little over 50% and I thought that was very bad, but from comments here, might not be too horrible!

 

Bounce rates can be used to help determine the effectiveness or performance of an entry page. An entry page with a low bounce rate means that the page effectively causes visitors to view more pages and continue on deeper into the web site.

 

This is very completely information. So bounce rate can to be benchmark how people stand in our web page, if little value so it means our content not interesting..

 

cosmolito is right, that's what the bounce rate is. people leaving the page for any reason.

 

They come and they click out from your home page I read above.

 

today when you have a good landing pages and you build a wide links networks people might arrive directly to the page they are looking for for example, if the person looking for parsley and he land on the page of parsley than he contact the phone no. on that page and leave the sites, in general you achieved what you wants from that person and he contribute to the negative bounce rate even so that he is now your customer, so its not all black and white.

 

Remember, the type of site you have reflects if a high bounce rate is good or bad. Oddly, the higher my bounce rate has been the more visitors I'm receiving.

Shrug

 

Never could work out about bounce rate haha

 

Hey great Singhvineet

Thanks for this....but it is possible to get bounce rate of below 10 ?? some blogs claim that they are getting bounce rate below 5 ?

Whether it is true or fake traffic report ?
