Google and there way of ranking webpages is different to say the least. I have top 5 search ranking on over 40 different Godaddy search terms because of an article I wrote about swtching from Godaddy email to Google Apps.

Considering I did almost no SEO to the page, I receive about 200 - 300 visitors a day searching for Godaddy server issues, Godaddy review, DNS, domain forwarding, etc. Since the article is not about any of these search terms, I have a high bounce rate, because it's not what people were looking for.

So it's not about content, it's the fact that Google has the wrong idea about this one page, that brings in over 60% of the traffic to my website. So as a result my bounce rate is high, and mostly from search engine traffic visitors looking for godaddy info.
