What is a good bounce rate?

Hey Taylor. My name is Melanie and I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I don't wan to take up too much of your time, but I would really like to know what a good bounce rate is? According to Statcounter,
  • 55% jump right out in 5 seconds or less.
  • The other 45% stay for a pretty decent amount of time.
Is 55% a good bounce rate?
I would estimate that 55% is actually about average. However, if your bounce rate goes up any higher, I would really begin to worry.

What bounce rate(s) should worry me?

55% is a decent bounce rate. It means that almost half of the people that come to your site stay on for a good amount of time. However, you must also know that if your bounce rate goes any higher, you should probably begin to worry.
  • 60% - 69% bounce rate - I'd begin to worry.
  • 70% - 79% bounce rate - Your site is almost pointless.
  • 80% - 89% bounce rate - Hope your getting paid by the impression.
  • 90% - 99% bounce rate - Dude. You're wasting your time.

How can I lower my bounce rate?

Tomorrow, I will teach you how to lower your bounce rate. All of the tips arerelatively simple, but it's the time and effort it takes to go to the next step to get that bounce rate down. So what is a good bounce rate? I believe that anything below 50% is a pretty decent bounce rate. If you're below 40% then you're doing great, but I would say that 50% or lower is pretty good.

I will definitely be back for your advice on lowering the bounce rate, I really need all the advice I can get in that area. I am not going to reveal my blog's bounce rate but it is on the wrong side of your scale.

Sounds great. I will be writing that post a little bit later.

Today hasn't been the best day for me. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to show people how to do the expandable post summaries in blogger.

For some reason, every time I began to make the video, the code would receive and error. But when I wasn't making a video, the code would work just fine.

Go figure.

I have to work out and get my mind off of blogging for a big, and then I will come back to you with a good post.
