Very clearly explained. Thanks.

Because of its nature, is a blog expected to have a high bounce rate?

Hi there,

At http://www.klub.fm I’m having very low bounce rates (1,5% max), but traffic from google images does the worst job. Why? Is this important?

Some abusive comments. I think most of them forgot that they were just 9 tips. Anyhow, advice about the title was great. A good title can be the deciding factor in getting a comment aka second page view.

Very nice, and this is something that I have struggled with.

RSS readers visiting a page to read and perhaps reply to comments. First, they are RSS readers: they may not physically visit AN Y other page. Second, if they are regular readers, they have already read other pages some other day.

Search visitors who found exactly what they wanted. For example, I have a high volume page on “Lost Linux Root Password”. If you have lost your root (admin) password and you find that page, what do you do next: read more articles or go fix your password problem? Obviously the latter.

@Christophe, Tony: Yes! This is what I had been saying for the last 6 months or so.

I have to agree on the “not always bad” side.

Two examples:

When I see high bounce rates, the page is often one that answers a very specific question or problem. I don’t fret about those at all.

To answer the person who asked about average rates, I have no idea. Analytics shows me ~6,000 pages with a 60% or less bounce rate and ~12,000 above that. Average is 89% and that doesn’t upset me.
