What is Bounce Rate
Bounce rate measures the percentage of single-page sessions where users left your site without interacting further. While not a direct ranking factor, high bounce rates may indicate content that doesn't satisfy user intent.
Example
1,000 visitors, 600 left after one page = 60% bounce rate. Blogs often have 70-90% bounce rate (normal), e-commerce should be 20-45%.
How to apply it
Reduce bounce rate by: matching search intent, improving page speed, adding compelling CTAs, using internal links, improving content quality, and optimizing mobile experience.
