What is the bounce rate for your main site?

[MichaelCorfman]

It is complicated to achieve a low bounce rate. Especially for affiliates that rely on organic search traffic, and whose goal is to send that traffic to an online gaming site in the hope of earning affiliate revenue as rapidly as possible. Also, when generating traffic through organic search, you sometimes get really strange results. Here are a couple examples I know about:

On the GPWA website I once noticed that for a period of time there was a good amount of traffic coming in based on organic searches involving tattoos. Not exactly a subject I would normally think of as important for an affiliate-oriented online gaming site. But we had a thread that rated highly in that area for a while in the fun diversions forum started by Renee:

Tattoos and Piercings

Another example I know about is that on the Poker Zone website Casino City runs, there is a poker dictionary, and one of the pages is for a hand known as Anna Kournikova. That page normally does not receive much traffic, but on the 1st and 2nd of January 2016 it received over 40,000 page views, all from organic search. But the bounce rate of those visitors was 95.26% according to Google Analytics.

Overall, for the GPWA website, the bounce rate has averaged 49.83% over the past month, pretty much entirely due to visitors for which the site is really off-topic. That bounce rate is not surprising for a site that is highly focused in a particular topic area, but that also receives lots of search engine traffic on sometimes not directly-related topics.

Besides sharing the bounce rate of your most important site in the poll, be sure to comment on your thoughts about bounce rates. And if you have any interesting stories about traffic to your site, be sure to share them in a post as well.

For main site it's about 70%,,, most of which comes a few hours before the game start.. however CTR is also pretty good funneling them off to sportsbooks

[sweetbet]

Mine is 65% and slowly dropping.

My main website is about 25%. I run a few other smaller websites and have those lower, they are below 20% mostly. I also help friends and family out with their local business websites and have those about 8-9% which is very good for me

Honestly i love if visitors left my site!

Around 65% for me.

Forums/User interaction based sites typically go from 25% ~ 40%.

Article/Content based sites are a lot higher usually - 50~75% is generally what I see.

Anything below 25%, is either really focused traffic, or your analytics code is not implemented correctly.

Anything below 25%, is either really focused traffic, or your analytics code is not implemented correctly.

Installing multiple analytics plugins will give very low results.

Now our website is running for almost 1 month and the bonuce rate is about 65%. However the main visitors are me, my colleague and some robots

our bounche rate depends on the content. on average its about 40-50% ... some posts reach 70% and others 25% ... it really depends on what you write about and how interessting it is to read

[Progger]

7-9%

but,this is not final - many bots jumping arround!

"comment on your thoughts about bounce rates"

I am sure, if you have an exclusive website about e.g. "Groper Joe Biden", the bounce rate will go down to Zero!
