What Exactly is Bounce Rate? Tips for Online Writers
You might have often heard people talking about bounce rate. What exactly is bounce rate? What does that indicate? Please read more……
Bounce rate: Bounce rate usually refers to the website bounce rate. It is used in analyzing your website traffic. It tells you about the percentage of visitors who visit your website and bounce without visiting at least one more page within your website. If a visitor visits one or more pages within your website, then it is not a bounce.
Bounce Rate = total number of visits that generated only one page view/ the total number of visits
How to find the bounce rate of your website: Bounce rate is calculated for a specific period. Suppose your website got 1000 visitors during that period and 600 of them left your site without visiting at least one more page within your website, then your website bounce rate is 60%. I hope I have made my point clear.
What is the use finding bounce rate? It helps you to assess the plus and minus points of your website. You will know what you should do to improve your page views and website traffic.
Why do your visitors bounce? There could be several reasons for your visitor to leave your website. They may feel that there is no content that they are looking for. They may not be happy with the content they see in the landing page. Your site design is not cool. Your page loading may be slow.
Recommended bounce rate: It depends on your website and the SEO techniques you use. Nobody can exactly fix a specific bounce rate as the best. However I can say that about 50% bounce rate is reasonable. Who knows, may be some of them may leave the pages after clicking your ads? Then it’s good for you, right?
Summary: As online writers we now know what bounce rate is and how it helps us to improve our website traffic. Thanks for reading.
