A bounce occurs when a web site visitor only views a single page on a website, that is, the visitor leaves a site without visiting any other pages before a specified session-timeout occurs. There is no industry standard minimum or maximum time by which a visitor must leave in order for a bounce to occur. Rather, this is determined by the session timeout of the analytics tracking software.

R_b = T_v / T_e

where

    Rb = Bounce rate
    Tv = Total number of visitors viewing one page only
    Te = Total entries to page

A visitor may bounce by:

    Clicking on a link to a page on a different web site
    Closing an open window or tab
    Typing a new URL
    Clicking the "Back" button to leave the site
    Session timeout

Bounce rate is very important factor in SEO where you can check the repetition of your website. Mostly people want to spend lot of time on those places where they can get unique and valuable information so if your website have informative pages that entice to every visitors read up to down and  also compel then to go for further information then your website appear low bounce rate because visitors are spending lot of time so Bounce rate show us how many time visitors spend on your single web page if user spend few second on your site then bounce rate will be increase.

Bounce rate is the time which visitor spend on our website means how much time user spend his time at our website. It should be less for our website.

Webmaster tool is the best option to find out our website bounce rate.

Bounce Rate is the percentage of traffic to your website or other websites to your website and leave your site without viewing any other pages. Mean percentage of visitors do not find useful information on your website.

bounce rate measures the percentage of people who come to your website and leave "instantly". The lower the bounce rate the better.

Bounce Rate is defined as the the % of people who visit your site and then navigate away without visiting any another page on your website. In short, it is the percentage of visits that arrive on your site, visit no other pages, and then leave. The more you can lower or reduce your bounce rate, the more opportunity you will have to convert your site visitors. This is extremely important from a conversion optimization standpoint.  :D

Causes of Bounce Rate:

Website Content
Website Design and User-friendliness
Site Navigation Structure
Technical Errors
Irrelevant Keyword Selection
Links From External Websites

Bounce rate is the percentage of users who view only one page of your website and then leave the website. Bounce rate is one metric that helps to suggest how useful users are finding our site.

Bounce rate is one metric that helps to suggest how useful users are finding our site. If our bounce rate is very high that tends to indicate that our site as a whole isn't very useful — possibly because it doesn't contain the information the user was searching for, the information wasn't easy enough to find, or because the site is hard to read (poor site design, cluttered with ads, etc.).

It's important to note that bounce rate is not a measure of how long a user spent on your site — it only measures whether they viewed only one page, or more than one page. So it's possible that a user could spend a half hour pouring over that page, and then leave, and it would be considered a bounce. It's also important for SEOs to understand that because of the way Google Analytics measures time spent on site, every bounce will count as 0:00 time on site, even if they spent an hour on that page. Again, all bounces record as zero time spent on site, regardless of the actual time on site.

Hi Friends,

Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page. A high bounce rate suggests that more and more visitors are finding your website slow, irrelevant or unappealing.

Thanks and Regards
