Another high bounce rate
-
Hi there,
One of my top landing pages has an 81% bounce rate.
http://www.snowbusiness.com/what-we-do/film,-tv-and-advertising.aspx
My first thoughts are purely bad IA and usability, but i know there must be loads of other things people might identify.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Th page is OK but a little bland and with no real fucus. However I agree that if you look at the entry keywords with the high bounce rate all will become clear. I suspect you are ranking for a term that is not so relevant to your topic...
-
My first impression is that I have no idea what the page is about. But mainly, there is no guidance in what I should do next. There is no call to action.
So what is the main purpose of this page?
-
First, a bad bounce rate doesn't always mean a bad page. There are several reasons one might see a high bounce rate as a good or neutral thing.
With regards to your page, however, I'm not sure. I'd say look at what your entrance keywords are. Which entrance keywords are triggering the bounce? I'll bet if you look at that data, it'll make more sense. 9 times out of 10 bouncing people are landing on a page that doesn't have content to fit their query.
-
Are you ranking for any irrelevant terms or getting a lot of referrals from a site that drives traffic from people who wouldn't be interested?
I also have to say, I read almost all the copy above the fold and I'm still not exactly clear about what you're offering. When i went to the homepage, I figured it out, but the page in question is actually about what you do, that that could be a problem.

Free Media Site / High Traffic / Low Engagement / Strategies and Questions
Hi, Imagine a site "mediapalooza dot com" where the only thing you do there is view free media. Yet Google Analytics is showing the average view of a media page is about a minute; where the average length of media is 20 - 90 minutes. And imagine that most of this media is "classic" and that it is generally not available elsewhere. Note also that the site ranks terribly in Google, despite having decent Domain Authority (in the high 30's), Page Authority in the mid 40's and a great site and otherwise quite active international user base with page views in the tens of thousands per month. Is it possible that GA is not tracking engagement (time on site) correctly? Even accounting for the imperfect method of GA that measures "next key pressed" as a way to terminate the page as a way to measure time on page, our stats are truly abysmal, in the tenths of a percentage point of time measured when compared with actual time we think the pages are being used. If so, will getting engagement tracking to more accurately measure time on specif pages and site signal Google that this site is actually more important than current ranking indicates? There's lots of discussion about "dwell time" as this relates to ranking, and I'm postulating that if we can show Google that we have extremely good engagement instead of the super low stats that we are reporting now, then we might get a boost in ranking. Am I crazy? Has anyone got any data that proves or disproves this theory? as I write this out, I detect many issues - let's have a discussion on what else might be happening here. We already know that low engagement = low ranking. Will fixing GA to show true engagement have any noticeable impact on ranking? Can't wait to see what the MOZZERS think of this!

Are Click-Through rates & Bounce Rates as Ranking Metrics ?
There are lots of articles around but I would prefer to see what everyone here has to say about it. Are they ranking metrics ( directly or In-directly )? If they are then how to get it right? Can i depend on Google In-page analytic? What is an acceptable Bounce rate for a home page ? What is an average click through rate for your landing page ? thanks

High bounce rate from Google Shopping
Hi Mozzers, I'm carrying out some analysis on our eCommerce site and the bounce rate from Google Shopping is well above the site average at 60%. Our shopping feed is submitted to Google every morning so we know that images and prices are up-to-date which would obviously cause a high bounce rate. Any ideas on what might cause this? Is it normal for Google Shopping to produce a high bounce rate? Cheers guys!
