What is bounce rate?

Hi guys,

I just want to know What is bounce rate?

I didn't check analytic reports for any sites as an offpage optimizer.

Can you guide me about this???

What does Bounce Rate mean?
Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page. Use this metric to measure visit quality - a high bounce rate generally indicates that site entrance pages aren't relevant to your visitors. The more compelling your landing pages, the more visitors will stay on your site and convert. You can minimize bounce rates by tailoring landing pages to each keyword and ad that you run. Landing pages should provide the information and services that were promised in the ad copy.

the visitors that immediately leave a site after coming are considered as bounced and their frequency of doing so is know as bounce rate. (Just rough idea)

If visitor comes on your website and immediately leave your website from home page that's called up bounce rate. It means that visitor comes to visit your website with no targeted keywords.
