Google’s Definition Of Bounce Rate
“Bounce Rate is the percentage of single-page sessions (i.e. sessions in
which the person left your site from the entrance page without interacting with the
page).”
Example
What Counts As A Bounce?
• When a user clicks on the back button.
• When a user types in another URL on the browser.
• When a user closes the tab or window.
• When a user clicks on an external link from your page.
• When a visitor doesn’t interact with your page for a given amount of time.
What Can Bounce Rate Tell You?
• Whether you’re providing relevant information to your audience
