[...] For example; lets assume you sell ‘footwear’ on your web site, along with clothing and accessories. Why would you mix keyword for sandals, flip-flops, and socks in with your ads for steel-toed work boots? Or why mix all of your keywords together and send people to your front page, where they are not only forced to "go digging" for the product they were searching for, but they are unable to see because it’s not obvious or even listed on your front page? Frustrating your visitors increases the possibility that they will simply leave if they can not find what they want. One less visitor equal one less sale and a higher bounce rate! [...]

One thing not to forget is even good content can result in a high bounce rate. On blogs for example articles can take a long time to read. After a visitor reads the content they are mentally exhausted from reading and leave the site. In this case you must weigh the pros and cons. High bounce rate isn’t that bad if the visitor stayed for 30 minutes reading.

In my experience, bad content always increases a site’s bounce rate. So as far as possible try best to provide the pages with reader friendly content and useful information that will instigate them to go inside and search for more.
Yes a reduced bounce rate is great way of boosting conversion rates.

And when they land on a page, without wasting any time, they look for their expected information, if not quits fast. In short, surfers are always in hunt for an exhaustive web page to benefit from. By meeting their informative requirements, we can reduce bounce rates.

We cannot compromise with the demands visitors seek from websites. The only way to reduce bounce rate is by supplying the visitors needs. Don’t forget that the first impression lasts long, – really long.
Good and informative post.

Search engines may consider increased bounce rates as negative votes by visitors and may devalue your site accordingly. If incoming links reflect approval and site value in the eyes of a visitor, a bounce rate does just the opposite. In simple terms it could be termed as democracy at work and bounce rate merely means that you are not in the good books of a visitor. If visitors do not want you, search engines know what ratings you deserve.
