Ways To Reduce Bounce Rate

The more is the percentage of people bouncing of your website the more hard work need to be done. This is because when the user bounce of the landing page it means that he have never bothered to visit other pages of your website and just bounced of right at the page where he landed. The content of the web site needs to be more engaging so that the user stays and spend some time on the website. Other ways that can be implemented to reduce bounce rate is to have a website with good graphic design and easy navigation so that the user can engage more and more on the website.
 
I've heard that google keeps track of this and adjusts rankings accordingly. Does anyone have a sense of what a "good" bounce rate is that won't get you dropped by google.

Yes Google does track this, but from what I understand they do not use it much because having high bounce rate does not necessarily mean that your content sucks. Sometimes it means the user has found what they needed and are good to go. I think your bounce rate is factored less than your avg time on site. If your average time on site is 5 seconds, then that is a problem because users did not find the information they needed using the search query that landed them to your site.
 
You will find that the average bounce rate, according to Google is 40%, but if your site is really niche then don't worry if it is say 60%. Just try and make sure your pages desription and title actually match what is on the page, and make sure it is not slow loading, people can't be bothered hanging around.
 
It represents the percentage of visitors who enter the site and "bounce" (leave the site) rather than continue viewing other pages within the same site.
 
Well, I have I heard that Google keeps track of this and adjusts the rankings accordingly. Does anyone have a sense of what a "good" bounce rate is that won't get you dropped by google.
 
Bounce Rate is the percentage of single-page visits, meaning that the user comes to your landing page and leaves immediately If it is 0% bounce rate, then that means all visitors went to another page of your site If it is 100% bounce rate, then it means all visitors hit the back button (or left your site by clicking on the ads, clicking on the close button) and never went past the landing page.
