That is why your bounce rate is so low.

Site with mostly direct traffic or referring sites have much lower bounce rates. Your site is a perfect example of why bounce stats without traffic source stats are meaningless.

1,715 search referrals a month? Our site gets that much search referral traffic in less than one hour.

These stats are completely meaningless.

If you are going to publish / post bounce rates, you must post your traffic stats, including traffic sources.

(See earlier posts).

That stat you are referring to... Is one of my earliest ones because my site was only a few months old (explains low search engine referrals). I've given you several examples to show you differences in page views. Since you referred to my last one being off because of low page views./... Now its search engines? Which is it?

The truth is there is no ONE thing. Referrals are just as good as any search engine hit. The bottom line is and always will be with bounce rates is to get them to STAY and not click off. Make your landing pages HOT so they want to investigate instead of hitting the back button or the red X. PERIOD. It has always been my top priority. I think that reflects itself in my always low bounce rate. So believe what you want and I'll believe mine. If you have 5,000,000 page views and you have a 50 or 60 bounce rate. I can promise you, your doing something wrong. JMO
