    That just average with 40 to 50% bounce rate. A good bounce rate that everyone looking for is below 35 %.

    If your bounce rate is high, then your secondary content is not appealing enough to look beyond the initial page they landed on.

    the bounce rate is the less the better, 50% is normal for a new site, if your site is old than 1 yr, that is too high

    It really depends on the product or services you are trying to sell and how you market it. If you are trying to market your site via something completely unrelated, then expect your bounce rate to skyrocket. If you are selling widgets, then market via something that has something to do with widgets.

    If someone clicks a link on the landing page, is that a bounce?

    Hi,
    Bounce rate is the percentage of users who visits a site and leaves it without viewing any other pages.
    so bounce rate is bad for a website.Bounce rate under 35% is good for a website according to my observation.[/B]

    As long as you have optimized the site well it doesn't really matter what industry you are in. To clarify, there is nothing that says if you are financial services your bounce rate should be between 30%-40%. A well optimized site will be getting a majority of visitors that are actually looking for the information or services you have to offer up and therefore have a lower bounce rate. That being said your quick search is pretty spot on, anything 50% or above is not good. Either you are having people sent to the wrong landing page or the content on the page is not organized well enough to convey your message effectively. 30% to 40% is not bad but definitely not ideal. Optimization is not a quick and easy process but it sounds like you are taking some steps in the right direction. Hope this of some use to you. Good Luck!

    Bounce rate is - visitor come on your site they close your page in a shot time. If your site bounce rate is 50 this is good, But you need to work on your site.

    It all depends really, if a user visits a forum via a thread that appears in Google search results, then they may not be interested in the rest of the forum content.
