It can also be measured by them clicking onto another page within your site.
A low bounce rate is generally more desireable but it depends on your site, i.e. like it's been said before, Wiki won't have a low bounce rate because people will be finding their answers normally on the first page and under 30 seconds.
If you're selling something then a low bounce rate is NEEDED, it's mandatory!
Bounce rate doesn't affect SEO, it's an analytic of your site, not a communication between your webserver and the search bots.

Oh I see... thank you very much for this reply. I thought it has something to do with seo... hehe
For blogs? What do you prefer? a high or low bounce rate? I have the idea about the answer but I'm not so sure...
