What is a good bounce rate?
The percentage of single-page sessions” (i.e. sessions in which the person left your site from the entrance page without interacting with the page).
A good bounce rate for your site is mostly dependent on the type of website. Content websites have average bounce rates between 40-60%, while service and retail sites see average bounce rates between 10-40%. Blogs tend to have the highest average bounce rates, between 70-98%
Hi Friends,
No dependable number exists because all bloggers have different opinions on good versus bad, and the corresponding number. Just stay on topic with every post, link in to old posts and monetize aligning with your niche, according to what you value, and you should see that bounce rate drop like a brick. Until you get internet famous; then it jumps due to volume traffic.
As a rule of thumb, a bounce rate in the range of 26 to 40 percent is excellent. 41 to 55 percent is roughly average. 56 to 70 percent is higher than average, but may not be cause for alarm depending on the website. Anything over 70 percent is disappointing for everything outside of blogs, news, events, etc.
Bounce rate will ultimately depend on your industry, audience, website, and the intention of your landing pages.
