Hi,

I started a wallpaper website 11 days back. Although unique visitors are not much, page views are quite impressive... The problem is with the Bounce Rate. Here are my Google Analytics results since the site was launched.

Unique Visitors: 179
Sessions: 247
Page Views: 2,733
Pages/Session: 11.06
Traffic from Germany, India, US.
Bounce Rate: 4.05%


I haven't installed any "Reduce Bounce Rate" plugin to this site. Alexa however shows the bounce rate around 18.50%.

As you can see the bounce rate is extremely low. What should I do in this situation. Is this normal? Please help...

Thanks,
Sky

    quote from wikipedia:
    Bounce rate (sometimes confused with exit rate)[1] is an Internet marketing term used in web traffic analysis. It represents the percentage of visitors who enter the site and then leave ("bounce") rather than continuing on to view other pages within the same site.
    Bounce rate is a measure of the effectiveness of a website in encouraging visitors to continue with their visit. It is expressed as a percentage and represents the proportion of visits that end on the first page of the website that the visitor sees.
    So low bounce rate is not bad! Means that visitors stay on your site and continue read other stuff instead of leave the page after 1 article.

      Amazingly good bounce rate! 4% is the lowest bounce rate I've ever seen. You must have great content which gives high value to your users. Well done!

    Reason is your google analytics code repeat in two places. Keep the code in HEAD part only.

    Have you installed something from Alexa to the site? If not, you should not rely on their scores.

    Your bounce rate seems abnormally low, but as others pointed out it's usually considered a good thing. If it's possible that there's problems with Analytics tracking code as jessikaload said you need to fix those ASAP.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    From the web marketing term "Bounce Rate" it means the percentage of the user who leaves the specific page or site. Which the lower rate the better, so I would say that its a good sign for your site because your audience stays longer in your page.
