- What is a bounce rate a reflection of?
Answer:
Bounce Rate is a metric used in the measurement of a site's visit quality. High bounce rate generally indicates that the entrance pages of a site are not relevant to the visitors and in most cases, are not compelling enough for a visitor to navigate to other areas within the particular site.
The key to lowering a site's bounce rate is to make the visitors happy in terms of content, usefulness, etc. Ensure your users have a positive experience and this will lead to social bookmarking, recommendation, re-visits, linking, higher pageviews per visit, etc which eventually helps in lowering your site's bounce rate.
- Does the duration of a visit affect bounce rate?
Answer:
No. Bounce rate is calculated based on the actions performed per visit and time and has no effect on the calculation of bounce rate.
Example: A visit that lasts for 29 minutes with only one pageview is considered as a bounce. However, a visit that lasts for only 10 seconds with 2 pageviews is not considered a bounce.
