What's your bounce rate?

[sfod_d223]

I've been tying a few very informative videos to my about pages and have noticed a significant lengthening of time on site increase while bounce rates hovering around 38%.

[pawelmiami]

75% and I have a hosting review site.

[my_misyel]

Approximately 65-70% (Monthly Basis).

[robertgallagher]

my site is free Directory site and my Bounce rate is below 1% some days 0.05 so it's good for me but my visitor is only 250 to 300 per day.

[nikonjems]

i am having bounce rate of 21% on my main site.

[davidm23]

My blog's bounce rate is 68.15%

[core8284]

mine was 51.84% actually it went down maybe because I haven't updating it yet lately.

[bally chohan]

My site bounce rate is over 50 % becuase it is a new site but i hope that in coming time i will be able to put it down

The importance of bounce rate is dependent on the type of site it is.

If you have an online store with a 70% bounce rate, that's DEFINITELY a cause for concern. If you have a blog or site about cooking recipes with a 70% bounce rate, I wouldn't really worry because there's a good chance people are landing on your blog or site, reading and finding what they need, and simply leaving.

my bounce rate was according to none other than google analytics FYI only.. :-)

there may be a different rate of Bounce of different category websites.
It may be lower for Forums and other informative websites and higher for online stores etc.

[AIEN]

My url has 45% to 50% bounce rate - per month

I got 20% for just one time .. before 2 month ...
Don't worry about too much about it

[bascilikapeter]

i have 35% to 45%

[CouponPromoCodes]

My bounce rate is about 50-70% on most sites

True, I think it would have been nicer if it was being calculated when someone arrives to your page and just leaves. Therefore still including a visitor who just view one page but really did take time to read your content from your site. I guess that would have been better for us to detect what content is really being mostly read.

I have a blog once before about crowdsourcing which has a bounce rate of 68% I don't have any idea if what's the meaning of that 68%. But base on your discussions my question in mind was answered =)

[maxine25]

My bounce rate is within the range of 40 to 60%.

[mickeyy]

The lower the better as people are staying and looking at the content of your site instead of just moving along to the next site. There was a video of a SEO specialist talking about bounce rate as being the most representative analytic. He was also saying that a number to strive for should be 30 to 35%.

perhaps not something to worry about, but a missed opporunity. if they are leaving then it's because there is nothing more for the user to see, or at least they are unaware that there is more they'd want.

my bounce rate is 40% and i don't like that. it could be that high because i often go to my site to get snippets of text when doing seo and then leaving, so this is increased, however i still think even 35% is high for what my site is about.

below 50 %
