    If your content and site structure is not good means poor quality of your website then bounce rate might be increase. So for that make a better site and people would stay longer also take help of google analytics you can know from that which web page you need to improve.

    Type of site that have so much content, but anything will do
    Any type of site is same to SEO point of view

    To rank on top 10, try to look for fewer competitor though
    Things that affect seo are:
    <h1>
    <title>
    domain name
    meta description
    Links

    Also, bigger the site - bigger the backlinks (remember, backlink from pages on same domain counted too)

    Bounce rate isn't just about making your visitors stay longer within your website but it's all about making them browse more pages within your website. Lowering a bounce rate is both essential to Bloggers and commerce type website owners.

    As defined in Wikipedia, a visitor can bounce by;

    1. Clicking on a link to a page on a different web site
    2. Closing an open window or tab
    3. Typing a new URL
    4. Clicking the "Back" button to leave the site
    5. Session timeout

    A few things that can reduce your bounce rate:

    - Give your visitors media (pictures, videos, etc.) that make them stay ont eh page.
    - Make the text slightly larger. (Instead of 11-pt, make it 12.5-pt and increase your letter spacing.)
    - Make your visitors want to read more of your website's content.

    bounce rate in many cases depend on the type of website.

    you need to have compelling content to have visitors read more.
    offer related content links.
    increase visitor loyalty. repeat visitors always read more.

    Did you mean "increase" or "decrease" it? Reduce does mean the second one anyway.

    If you want to increase a bounce rate then the content is playing major part of this. Both content and internal navigation structure should be well constructed. The "hook" of the content is important as it could also help dragging more visitors to your website by referring.

    Site speed and the use of titles, people are scanning the site and bouncing from title to title to find something where they are looking for.

    Bounce rate is the percentage of single page visits or visits in which the person left entrance . Use these values are measured in terms of quality - a high bounce rate generally indicates that site entrance pages are not relevant to your visitors. The more compelling your landing page, visitors will stay longer on your site and convert. You can lower bounce rates by tailoring landing pages to each keyword and ad. Landing pages should provide information and services promised in the add.
