    the bounce rate for any site related to the visitor action in your website how many time spent? how many page views?
    it is better if the visitor spent more time in your site that will improve your bounce rate.
    it is a percentage and if the visitor open your site and out quickly the bounce rate will be 100% and if spent more time and view more pages this will decrease this percentage to 90% - 70% . it is better to be 50% or less
    you can track the bounce rate for your site by google analytics program.
    Thanks

    Bounce rate (sometimes confused with exit rate)[1] is a term used in web site traffic analysis. It essentially represents the percentage of initial visitors to a site who "bounce" away to a different site, rather than continue on to other pages within the same site.

    The formula used to calculate bounce rate is: Bounce Rate = Total Number of Visits Viewing Only One Page / Total Number of Visits

    Hello Jane,

    Bounce rate is a measurement of how many of your visitors leave your site after viewing only one page. Here is a great blog post on 10 tips to lower your bounce rate – to keep your visitors on your website longer! http://bit.ly/9WM0YT

    One of the websites our company run had a bounce rate of 60% - 70%. Then we decided to change the Theme, Surprisingly it went down to 45% - 50%

    Bounce rate means when visitor enters in your site and exits without surfing any other pages of your website.
    Bounce Rate = Total Number of Visits Viewing Only One Page / Total Number of Visits
    for counting bounce rate used above formula.

    This is the rate of visitors that enter your site, and leave within the first 5 seconds (as calculated by Google Analytics) without viewing another page.

    What would you guys say a good margin is when it comes to bounce rate? (Information websites, non-sales pages)

    A good bounce rate would be around 50% for informational sites. Keep in mind that for informational sites, most visitors only want the information they see on that site, and will be unlikely to look around your site for unrelated content than the one they were searching for.
