    Just a quick question.

    How much weight does google put on your bounce rate when determining your page rank?

    Does your bounce rate actually effect your pr at all?

    I don't think bounce rate affects PR at all. Google can't know whether your visitor gets exactly what they need on the very first page they land on on your site.

    I think your bounce rare may affect your page rank, but at a very low degree. Your bouncerate together with the average time spent on your site will help Google determine if you are relevant or not. come to think of adwords, your bounce rate affects your quality score. Most of the things that Google adwords advocate, are the same thing the advocate in their organic search. remember that relevance is a key issue here.

    Of course not... how will google know your bounce rate if you don't have analytics?

    Well, actually your site bounce rate doesn't affect your PR.

    There are many speculations of what really affects it, but whether you believe it or not, it is only about the links pointing to your page. So you better work on it! Get tons of quality links to a web page and that's it!

    Bounce rate have nothing to do with PageRank !!
    However, it can affect your SERP's !!

    i think google collects user data and bounce rate and one day they will be used to determine your ranking.

    PageRank only measures the quality of the links that point to a page. The only thing other than links that can affect PageRank is a penalty for a links-related violation of the Guidelines like selling links or other link schemes.

    Ok, so my conclusion is that boucerate doesn't effect page rank. But what is bouncerate used for then?

    Despite what others have said, no one is certain how PR is worked out exactly. Meaning, bouncerate could have some affect on PR. So if you have a high bounce rate your PR COULD decrease. However I do feel it to be unlikely.

    rufmun - Bouncerate is to see if you visitors are looking atyour homepage then leaving. This will help you optimise your site to get people to go deeper in etc.

    For a second there I thought you were being serious. But yea, people here are sometimes concerned with the wrong things. You can only give advice so many times before you realize it's not gonna change what people think.
