Bounce rate is immaterial to both PageRank and SERP rank.

I.e., Google doesn't care about it.

May i know what is the valuable bounce rate for per website?

[Ord Allenbea]

There is no value in bounce rate, only value in visitors that "DO" stay on your site. Maybe reading this thread back at least a few pages would help you.

There is such a delicate art in internet marketing (SEO) behind dealing with bounce rate on your site.

[Ord Allenbea]

I got to say this is the funniest post I have seen on this thread.

When will people learn, visitors that do not stay on your site are not your buyers. They are window shoppers with a $0 value. Bots on your site certainly are not going to buy.

Here goes an idea:

I think I will try all the sticky stuff to force those window shoppers to stay on my site. If I keep them there long enough maybe they will buy. While I am wasting all my time on these window shoppers (and bots) I will ignore the ones on my site because the window shoppers are more important.

Solid business idea there

Maybe a better idea would be to focus more on targeted traffic and those that DO stay on your website

Please do explain what that "delicate art" is.

Anything lower than 20% is a red flag for spams in search engine rankings. Since no one can find the content they wanted directly from search engine and they had to visit other pages to find the wanted contents. Anything above 70% is again red flag as the website is potentially not offering enough of related content. If you are in between, great job.

Balderdash.

Not only were those percentages pulled out of thin air, SEs don't even have a way of knowing either your bounce rate or what is "normal" for your type of site.

It is suggested that you give this thread a full and carefully reading, so as to learn why bounce rate taken out of context is useless, and why it cannot be used by SEs as a reliable metric of anything.

And, from one who doesn't even know that he's diluted his own link juice by having duplicate URLs in his Signature.

I have 50 to 60%

[sfod_d223]

My last check of last month is giving a good steady reading of 63%. I've gone the extra mile by using Google Analytics to trigger an alert whenever I get a visitor that views over 10 pages per visit.

These are my "money" visits, because I've learned that many of these large amounts of pageviews comes from folks looking at my auctions embedded in each page.

NERD

Instead of focusing on decreasing it, why not spend that time with those that do stay on your website ?

What if I only have a 1 page site ?

Those that worry about bounce rate are only increasing their customer acquisition because they are wasting time with useless metrics. A business that has a high customer acquisition cost will end up losing money and eventually be forced out of business.

Not being rude (and certainly not directing this specifically to bizworldusa12) but if you do not understand what customer acquisition is then you seriously should be re-thinking about running a business. All business online or offline has a customer acquisition cost.

It is always good to maintain the bounce rate below 50%.
