Once the readers are fascinated by the landing page of your website they are ready to continue their journey through the pages.

RankSurge Senior Member Joined: 06 Mar 2005 Good Posts: 780 Location: Internet The best bounce rate I've seen for a client was 25% for an e-commerce client. They were able to bring it down once they started capturing what the user searched for and then displayed that text on the page the visitor landed on. I have other sites that have a 75% bounce rate, but perform very well from a money perspective. I think at the end of the day, you'll always need to tweak to try to capture more conversions, but in order to gain that insight, you need to have the analytics in place to see where people are jumping off. Soo many times I have seen improvements come by simplifying the navigation, adding a big button for the user to click on, and sometimes just telling the user what they need to do next.

If what you want is to get your customers phoning you then a bounce may not be a problem. I take plenty of calls from people who've found our number and yet visited only one page.

I think it's really up to your niche / traffic sources and ofcourse your site content, but the average is about 30%. I think 50 is too much....
