How Bounce Rates Effect Your Website Or Web-blog Rankings

The bounce rate is defined as the number of visitors who bounce, or leave without visiting another page on the site. Bounce rates are expressed in percent.

Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors that open a website and leave before spending an amount of time that is deemed significant by the search engine.

Your site is up, and your product is out there for the world to see. Before you know it, you have visitors trickling in to see what you have to offer.


Why is my bounce rate so high?

    Your website is visually unappealing

    The visitor didn't find what he or she was looking for.

    The percentage of website visitors who see just one page on your site.

    The percentage of website visitors who stay on the site for a small amount of time (usually five seconds or less).

    The webpage was too difficult to use.

    That is the right question. Your conversion rate is low because majority of people come and leave your website without completing the actions/goals you desired
   
    The people coming to your website aren’t the right people

    You're acquiring the wrong kind of traffic to your page
