Traffic stable...BounceRate drops to Zero!

Over the last few days my traffic has remained pretty steady. Not alot... around 10-20 per day. Bounce rates have been at about 50-60%. All of a sudden BR dropped to zero.

Also, some of the traffic during that period, not all, but some, has shown an average visit duration of 0, but had a bounce rate of 0 as well. I've never seen that before.

Is something haywire here?

    It's not really normal, but it's hard to say with that low of traffic.

    If it continues, analyze where the traffic comes from.

      I agree. Also, it could depend on the place you are getting your statistics from. I use Google Analytics. It has never let me down.

    You must know:

    1. What is your main traffic source? To analysis it, you need Google Analytics, it is high accuracy.

    2. What causes loss of the traffic. If you know it, you can retrieve the traffic back or obtain new traffic.

      Main traffic right now is search/referral
      Currently have no PPC or anything like that.
      Have looked at a few other sites I have, and one also flatlined on the BR for about 4 days, around the same period of time.

        ok, i have a theory.
        a few days ago, i started putting in WP/MU. and it seems that about the same time, the BounceRate flatlined. i think this might have something to do with WP multi user/network.
