Bloggers: What Is Your Bounce Rate?

ronnie · 2008-08-12, 05:42 PM

I noticed when my blog was new or was getting new traffic sources the bounce rate was much higher. Seems the last one I started it was around 84%, which kinda makes sense, new traffic sources just checking out new sites. Also probably quite a few freeloaders looking for instant porn, they don't see it and leave. Just my thoughts.

After a new blog settled down, I think it was running about 35%.

The other thought would be your getting more un-targeted traffic?

The other big question is, what have you changed recently? I don't remember the site exactly but looks like it's changed alot. Maybe it's confused your regulars, or they think they hit the wrong site?

Just my two cents.
