The day after I post a simple overview explaining what a bounce rate is, I find an article where someone who specializes in web analytics has posted a survey to find out what different people’s bounce rate is for their site.

I can tell you that the different sites I manage range from about 8-12% (Corporate Intranet)  to 55-60% (this blog) – blogs generally run higher, because they have several articles on a page, so you don’t have to follow pages to get content. I give a range only because they do vary from day to day.

Interesting…that’s all I have to say. What about any one else out there.  Do you know what the bounce rate for your sites are? Leave a comment if you wish.

As many of you may know, because I talk about it often, in addition to working in the Internet industry, I also like to teach about it. Well the term just started, and I wanted to do a redesign of the site.

I usually have a different site for each of the colleges I’ve taught at. For example I used to teach at a local for-profit school called IADT. Now I am teaching at a local community college, Seminole Community College and I have a separate site for them.

You will often hear about me specifying “what’s the purpose of your web site?” In this case, it is to post information, and allow for file management with my students. While the site may seem simple, and it is, it allows for the purpose to be completed.
