    I'm talking for sites with 1000's of visitors a day, I know small niche sites with just 10's of visitors a day will have great bounce rates...but in google's eyes whats acceptable?

    Not because a site just got 10 visitors a day, it will already have great bounce rate. The same computation applies even if the number of visits jump up to thousands.

    Amount of traffic doesn't matter. I'd say a decent bounce rate is under 40%. Haven't done much research on this though, just going from my own sites.

    It really depends on the type of site you have, how many visitors you have, etc. I remember reading somewhere under 60% would be "decent". In my opinion you want to be below 50% at least.

    I would give you advice to go for a single site with more visitors, or 2-3 of max site with more visitors.

    instead of have 100 site with 10 visitors, you will soon realize its not worth.

    Below 50% is considered good bounce rate. And if it can come down in the range of 3540%, then it is considered as best.

    I think about 45 to 50% is a good bounce rate.

    I don't think google really care about bounce rate. This measurement is for site owners.

    Does bounce rate count is a user clicks a link but it doesnt load and they press back? (ie slow page loading time)

    Below 40% would seem right to me.

    Bounce rate is basically when users leave the site once they take a look at it.

    This can happen a lot if
    the link they clicked on doesn't describe what the site is (It isn't what they are looking for)
    OR
    if they do not like the content or design of the site. (They don't like it)

    So those are the two things you need to fix to reduce your bounce rate.

    I have around a 53% bounce rate on a local web design site, I consider 50% average less than 40% excellent. above 60% is bad! means 60% of traffic is crap . Keep in mind that the source of your traffic could cause bad bounce rate!

    My bounce rate is 50%. I'm working on redesigning the site and improve user's experience. Hope the bounce rate would drop.
