This is what google reports as time on site: 00:15:42
is this 15 minutes or seconds?

My bounce rate is 39% would that be good?

What would be a good bounce rate for lets say 250-500 unique visits a day?

Thanks,

revjoe

    Here are answers to your questions,

    This is what google reports as time on site: 00:15:42

    >> 15 is minutes there & 42 is seconds.

    My bounce rate is 39% would that be good?
    >> 39% is ok.

    >> For this I think 35 to 55% would be fine.

      Great thanks! One more question? Does analytic s track your own visits to your site or is that rendered void? Meaning does it see your ip address you signed in with analytic s? Thanks:-)

        Dear Revjoe,

        By default, Google analytics tracks everything.

        But, incase if you want to exclude your IP address, then in GA there is an facility called as "Filters".

        Here is an excellent article on the same- A step by step guide. Please read.

    For me the bounce rate is high, because I have always had bounce rate below 15% for my site.

    Revjoe,

    Keep in mind that bounce rate is heavily dependent on industry. Also, this metric should be evaluated in conjunction with other factors such as the structure of your site. For instance a blog with one page may have a very high bounce rate but it could still have very engaging content and a high number of returning visitors. In general, numbers around 20-30% are acceptable. Obviously the lower the better but there should always be some kind of rate even if it is very low (i.e. people get distracted and leave the site, they get to your site by mistake, they close a browser and open the site again in another browser, etc). So its hard to say if your bounce rate is good or not because we don’t know what your site is about or how it is built. You also want to be sure you are excluding traffic that will skew your data (your own machine for example).

    There are some good answers here as well,

    Hope that answers your question,
