What's your bounce rate?
My organic bounce rate is very high(60 - 80%), 50% is the lowest I could ever get it to.
Any advice?

It's just a matter of whether or not you are attracting traffic interested in your content and making the content "better" for the purpose of making visitors want to visit other parts of your site. It's difficult to give specific advice without knowing what your site is all about.

You could try another landing page version. There are google tools that let you test multiple content pages to help gain conversions and lower bounce rates.

celebrity blog about 80%, photo blog %70, relationship advice site %30. Yes G count it in my opinion, if you have a big kwd "real estate" and hight bounce, you get included in SERPS for a day, than reincluded for smaller kwd "real estate bla" and so on untill bounce gets less or there no other sites to show in serps. Use something to make sure your readers go to some where else not back.

Bounce rate depends on the fact is your website visited by targeted users or not. So try to make incoming links from topic related websites only.

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%.

Currently the bounce rate to my entertainment site is 26.91% according to Google Analytics and it was 35.77% last year this time. I think entertainment sites always have a lower bounce rate when compared to many other sites due to their nature.
Content is very important to improve your bounce rate so keep on improving/adding content to keep people comming back for more.Custom Cloud Solutions - innoix.com

bounce rate = the time for which visitor stays at particuar page.
more the bounce rate is not sea friendly.
bounce rate should be 20-30%
bonce rate > 50 is not good.

My Style Advice site is around ~50-60%, can't really do anything at it. I don't look at the bounce rate as a bad thing, that just means you got 1 extra unique and 1 extra page view which you didn't have before.

What is a bad bounce rate depends entirley on your traffic sources.
But traffic from google image search always runs at 80% plus.

Bounce rate
I have a question regarding the bounce rate.
Lets say some company has 100 employees & each employee has a computer on which default page is company website. Company has a website of rought 3-4k visitors each month. Most employees however go off the company website with the turn of their browser, how much reflect it does on the bounce rate? Is it advisable to have the company website set as default page?Last edited by MetalHawk; 12-29-2009 at 09:13 AM.

Bounce rate high means either your content is not of good quality to keep the visitors engage in your site or your visitor's are landing to the wrong pages for your keywords through search engines ,which problem I already have faced earlier.
