Google Analytics - Bounce Rate: The Simply Powerful Metric

[AboutAllHealth]

I found your video on this " freeseoplugin com " site and additional information on SEO tactics which was very helpful. Thanks

[jukcoder]

If optimized for the wrong keywords, a website could be receiving the wrong type of users - that's what is wrong with my website with a current average 90 percent bounce rate!

[KIBOOMU]

According to Google, our bounce rate is 6-7%. Is that POSSIBLE?

[cupiad]

@KIBOOMU it's possible (highly unlikely but possible). Could be that you have low traffic in general :S What's your website if you don't mind me asking?

[OCEANDIVAGROUP]

My bouncerate is 25%...that must be almost perfect..

[tatsf226]

My site bounce rate is 40%, good or bad? thanks

[mharmanos]

@tatsf226 Good, but you should compare it to other same-sized sites in your industry.

@bathelfire It's rickandkathy Feel free to visit, but don't feel obliged to dine and dash! :) 

[bathellfire]

My site has 30% bounce rate... nice.

[joerghubacher]

Very good information!

[EARNonGOOGLEADSENSE]

Very nice video, I can share google/clickbank auto earn method ..

[kathyschmidt]

We have a "personality" website we post to daily, mostly for fun and to keep our humor writing, cartooning, and photo skills in shape. For us, topics that are part of a thematic thread have the lowest bounce rate.

For instance, I crocheted a hat last week in honor of Alexandre Bilodeau's Olympic gold medal for Canada and blogged on it, titling it "In Honor of Gold, I'm Making A Bobbled Bilodeau." Three days later, we posted "Bobbled Bilodeau Update," and guess what? A bounce rate of zero.

[RafaelMinuesa]

Sorry to point it out, but a bounce rate of zero is a technical impossibility.

[bathellfire]

@kathyschmidt Give me the link, and i'll get you a few % bounce rate.

[RobotBadger]

He's another idiot Indian trying to justify stealing American jobs.

[caseychesh]

Great short video.

[oneeyedboxer]

my bounce rate is @40 ...yay my page rock

[urbex2007]

The video doesn't tell us anything apart from bounce rate equates to the number of people directed and who leave. What they are doing is closing annoying popup windows!!!! They are going to a site DIRECT as links do sometimes steal information. This method is 20 years out of date, look at reasons WHY people will click close and why they ignore pop-ups and adverts. That will answer the question about why no one stays on the sites.

what is this histtory he must be dreaming

[azagen1]

what this is this a history

okok

[applicrate]

What happen's oh

[CoolNiak]

Les exemples donnés sont excellents. Le taux de rebond dépend : - du mot-clé - de la page atterrissage - de l'annonce ou du lien pointant vers le site

[dmmspac]

he is wrong that bounce rate is a "one size fits all" metric.

bounce is calculated as such: "Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page." Source: Google Help.

thus, you could land on a 1 page rich media site, read for 30min, exit, which would produce a 100% bounce rate. yet the ave time on page is 30 min!

bounce is contextually sensitive like any other metric.

[dsockrider]

Is there any consideration for visit statistics created as a result of spiders and robots indexing your site? Their visits are less than 10 seconds and visit your site everyday.

[SecretMensBiz]

ok, well that was simple. Bounce rate is a measure of how many people are coming to your site and leaving straight away. I wonder how they measure it? Is it someone who stays for under 10 seconds?

[gav240z]

Its a single pageview on your site within a visit session. Where a visit session is defined as either closing the browser window (not tab) or your session cookie expires within 30 minutes of inactivity on the site.

If you have an E-commerce site you can confirm how bad bounce is by looking at your Visits to purchase report, if a majority of visitors buy within the first visit to your site. A high bounce rate indicates you are throwing money down the drain :(

[TummyToys]

Very helpful, He makes it very easy to understand and funny!

[neatcashideas]

I'm glad I understand bounce rate. I thought bounce rate had to do with bad traffic coming from scams or cheater bots.

[acegikmo1]

Nice video. This guy's accent seems at various times vaguely Indian, Hispanic, and Irish. I enjoyed it.

[auroraron]

I expect far better video quality from Google. Great information and I love the content but quality is something to be ashamed of.

[brettbum]

I was expecting a viral video with girls in bikinis....

[hussainkhanhk]

Bounce rate on my blog site is close to 70%.. Now I should really find out why visitors dont stick around on my pages.. What should I do to make them like it and keep them attracted to my page for somemore time. These are some of the questions which I put to myself after watching this excellent presentation.

[rob60201]

bouncey bouncey bouncey

you go on my site, why?

[o3mandotcom]

Bounce rate is a problem I have. There are many five second phantoms hitting my pages.

[bongopigbo]

Excellent presenter, great simple points well made. Makes me want to find more from him (and if that isn't an indicator of his quality, I don't know what is!)

[mh07621]

Awesome presentation. I'm glad my site isn't experiencing any "puking."

[nicholasinsa]

Excellent Presentation. I might have to borrow his definition of Bounce Rate "I Came I Puked I Left"

[verpackungmaschine24]

@nicholasinsa

Nick, that is the best comment I have seen in a long time

[ewholley]

THIS GUY IS SO FULL OF HIMSELF

[seoecom]

Bounce rate is useful, but measuring bounce rate for a opt in landing pages provides an inaccurate measure. Here 60-80% may be totally acceptable if I am using SEO for a non relevant keyword and filtering out candidates.

[djkush]

another killer presentation from Avinash Kaushik, this dude is good

[ramajana777]

I appreciated this sentence: 'Your homepage is not the homepage of your website.' It's truth, and when I immediately checked the bounce rates of my top landing pages, there was a lot to be improved.

[adhunna]

Why is the camera man focusing on the presentor when he should be focusing the camera on the screen instead?? Also, wouldn't it be better if the camera man learns to use his controls to ensure the screen is not over exposed with light so that we can see it clearly??

[GivesYouWings]

I don't even look at this feature for my site but I should.
