Is bounce rate that much important?
To get traffic for website Bounce rate is important or not?
Google Support says: "Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page".
So a visitor comes to your site on whatever page they found in their search, and either doesn't like what they see and leaves without going anywhere else within your site, or finds exactly what they were looking for and leaves in the same way. Either way it counts as a bounce.
So the bounce rate is not something that will bring or turn away traffic, it is something that happens when the traffic arrives.
Bounce rate is very important. This is the percentage of visitors who come to your website and leave without viewing any other inner pages on your website. Always the Bounce rate should be less you will find Bounce rate percentage in Google Analytics.
For example, Bounce rate is 80%, this means that 80% of the people who visit your website leave after only viewing the page they entered whether it was your homepage or an inner page.
Yes, this is what I understand about bounce rate. It means that the lower the bounce rate, the better the website. And, it is very hard to get the low bounce rate unless the content of website is magnificent.Originally Posted by sandeep.g
That is much too general a conclusion. Say for example you type in a question and the top search result is a page in Wikipedia. You go there, and get all the information you need, and then leave. That is a bounce but it does not mean that the page is poor, in fact it means exactly the opposite. The page is good because it has given you the answer to your question.
When looking at the bounce rate in Google Analytics, the figure given is the average for your site. But you should look at results for the individual pages before drawing any conclusions.
It is only a statistic to help webmasters, it isn't something that could result in a penalty.
I think gooogle also consider this parameter in the design of its algorithms, however, that even if a visitor enters a site and can not find what you want to get out so quickly, is also due to some errors (or faults) of the same engines research. but this is just my opinion...
Please explain this parameter in G's algo. Absent Analytics, how would G know about bounce rates? Read this thread for more on Analytics and Bounce rages.

LD, i do not know how to google to do many things, i can not explain to you and nobody else like google is able to do many things, but i think the big G a system to calculate this parameter has it. but then again, this is just my impression, and then i may be wrong
I have Google Analytics on one of my sites but not on the other. So Google only knows the bounce rate of the one site. The point is that parameters cannot be set for something when not all sites can be measured.
