The reason is that the most compelling content is right there on the top page.<BR/><BR/>So, you can't really distinguish between someone who arrives and leaves immediately vs someone who arrives, loves what they see, reads it in detail and intends to come back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-32148871473736217912008-05-05T19:41:00.000+00:002008-05-05T19:41:00.000+00:00My bounce rate averages out at 48%.

My website's home page does slightly better and my blog page does slightly worse but they're percentages are very close. <BR/><BR/>My highest bounce rates tend to come from internal pages. For instance, I have a post on <A HREF="http://www.artbyanima.com/blog/2008/04/you-got-oil-pastel-paint-on-your-carpet.html" REL="nofollow">cleaning oil pastel paint stains</A> that's got a bounce rate of 65%. I think most readers see the cleaning technique and then rush off to attack the stain!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-2858738056451747752008-05-04T09:06:00.000+00:002008-05-04T09:06:00.000+00:00Your Japanese garden composition is coming togethe...Your Japanese garden composition is coming together beautifully, Katherine!

It has a bounce rate of 89%. The increase in rate seems to be from two sources. My use of a yarn named Katrina and I also have a few patterns. I still get people looking for something related to the Katrina hurricane. I get a lot of people searching for patterns. If it's not what they're looking for, they move on.Sydney Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668626808059833928noreply@blogger.com
