Pogo sticking and bounce rate are related concepts, but they measure slightly different aspects of user behavior on a website.

Pogo sticking refers to the action of quickly clicking back and forth between search engine results and a specific webpage to find the most relevant information. It often indicates that the user did not find what they were looking for on the initial landing page and therefore had to go back to try another result. Pogo sticking can be seen as a negative user experience, as it suggests that the website did not meet the user's expectations.

Bounce rate, on the other hand, is a metric that measures the percentage of users who visit a website and then leave without interacting with any other pages or elements on that site. A high bounce rate typically suggests that visitors did not find the content engaging or relevant enough to stay and explore further.

In summary, pogo sticking is specifically related to user behavior while navigating search engine results and a specific webpage, while bounce rate is a more general metric that measures the overall engagement level of visitors on a website.

Bounce rate: Bounce rate is defined as "the percentage of visitors who visit a single page on a website." A high bounce rate isn't always bad, as it can mean that while the visitor didn't travel deeper into a site, he did spend some time on the page and get an answer to his question. He may have bookmarked the page, or shared it on Facebook, but since he  didn't read more, it constitutes a bounce.

Pogo sticking: Pogo sticking occurs when a user performs a search, clicks on a result, very quickly clicks back to the search result page, and clicks on a different result. This type of behavior is a direct result of immediate dissatisfaction in the search result, and—unlike bounce rate—pogo sticking is always a bad thing.

Pogo-sticking is defined as going back and forth from a search engine results page (SERP) to an individual search result destination site. In other words, pogo-sticking is when the searcher clicks on a link on a SERP, sees that it's not what she is looking for, and immediately bounces off by hitting the back button.

Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page. It can be reduced by:

Good content update
