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.
