This thread seemed to me to be the most suitable one to ask this question. I am sorry if I am wrong. For long I wanted to know if the duration of visits to my site was normal. About 55 per cent of the visitors to my site leave within 30 seconds. Is that normal? How about your visitors? Can you please give me an idea? Thanks in advance.
Well it definitely depends on what type of website you have. Is your site an ecommerce site, squeeze page or personal site? Is your website catering to a niche audience? If so, then it possibly just means that about half of your visitors are not the people you're targeting. But overall, I have to be honest 30 seconds doesn't sound good especially if you're offering or selling a product on your site. In terms of average time the lowest I have is 1 minute 22 seconds and that was for a corporate website i managed. So it really depends on the type of site you have and your goals... hope that helps... cheers, mate!
I think that is not normal, maybe you are targeting wrong keywords that result for wrong visitors, or should I say dissatisfaction on the side of your visitors.
"About 55 per cent of the visitors to my site leave within 30 seconds" if your goal to redirect visitor to other website ,your website performing well.Like Google their goal is completed as soon as visitor will leave their page through right information that they actually looking for.If not ,then your website is not performing well.Visitors are coming to your website but not getting information that they are looking for.If needed change your design and content to written your visitors.
Yep, that could be the case. It it seems be a usability issue (could be content, design, navigation or other factors) there that's causing the problem...
It is an English teaching site basically aimed at Turkish visitors with an average of 250 visitors a day. From your comments I understand that the percentage of quick-leavers is too high. Would you bother to have a look at the site (ingilizdili.net) and tell me what seems wrong? By the way, this data is according to the awstats. I don't whether this should be taken into account.
Looks like 55% of your visitors are not satisfied with with they see. What you should check next is if they all leave the site from the landing page or do they go deeper and then leave. That should tell you what they last see before they leave. Also, use GA on your site.. its must more effective in analyzing visitor behavior.
oh, i've just detected that 66% of my visitors leave blog within 10 seconds. i think, that it's not good. there's one more factor: people, who visit the blog looking for updates, and if there's no one, they immediately leave it. so it can also means frequently visits of regular visitors but i think that this is bad index
I think its ok if people visit your blog to see new content.... what you have to do now is to come up with a layout or navigation system where they can glance at something like 'related content', that way they will browse deeper.
50-60% bounce rate is perfectly normal. You would not want to go above 60%. This bounce rate may seem really high but it is not.
Bounce rate for a good site is 35 % .Average bounce rate of site is from 35% to 50% .It can be reduce ,if a user get from your site which that person need.So optimize your site according your product.
Google offer all kinds of self help guides on their blog. They want people to do well, it means better data for them = more money!
For mine, it's almost 90% leave the site within 30seconds. Most are visiting from search engines. It really depends on who are the audience of your site. If those visiting are more of frequent readers or loyal visitors, then the rate would goes down. Besides, improve the site with some SEO optimization would help as well (like having similar topics shown on the page so users would also read further before leaving..).
At a 30 second interval between pings, the resolution is still imperfect, but I’m finally able to gain a better understanding of how many single page view visits actually are bounces. As it turns out, after a week of the new tracking method, not many:
It depends upon content.frequencey of same visitors and what website we have. Same vsitors knew exactly what they have to look on that page,so they will just leave after clicking a link or checking for something.I don't think it is bad,may be you have to fins whether they are frequent visitors are all new visitors.
