What is a Reasonable bounce rate?

One of my sites slipped from #2 to #5 and I'm trying to figure out what I can do to bring it back without adding more problems. My bounce rate is pretty high (76%) but what's reasonable if you have 3 adsense blocks and a clickbank ad? Isn't it going to be high if you have a pretty good CTR?

    Always aim to have your bounce rate below 70, anything more than that needs fine-tuning

      I second that, about 70% is normal and average. But it also depends on your site and how much you engage your readers. My niche sites are around 70 but my personal site is around 20.

  • Average 25 to 40 is OK
