Analytics can be helpful, but not blindly trusted.
And yes, traffic isnt always good. It might now always turn into sales. And the, bandwidth is expensive.
Nice post

These are good tips to know and understand before we make any changes to our business. We should not rely on Google Analytics right away. We still need sometime to analyze before we make or do some changes in it. Thanks again. This is great!

Great post, I’ve been doing a bit of research on this lately and I’m glad I found it. We’ve had a significant bounce rate, and have changed quite a few things around. Now, we’re having serious traffic issues. I’ll keep this in mind.

I think that link building is still the way to go. Even that can increase bounce rate but at least the position is a little more permanent.

“When you start driving traffic from Social Networking sites you may see greatly increased traffic, much higher bounce rates, and a decline in overall conversion rates.”

You are right, traffic from social networking sites is of very less value, most of the times its the bots that visit. You will see hardly any conversions with that sort of traffic.

“What it APPEARS to show and what is REALLY true are rarely the same” is not the case with analytic because there are many manipulation done in the analytic.Cheers

I couldn’t agree more with this post. One addition I’d like to make is the Website I mention in this post. This is an interesting angle on bounce rate that talks about very similar things that you are talking about in this blog.

Ps: Thanks for posting great content-I subscribed.

Bounce may be a factor, but it is unlikely that it is a major factor for SEO becasue many sites, such as advertising portal such as the classified sections of newspapers naturally have high bounce rates. It is not an indication that the user did not find the content they were looking for. It actually could be an indication of the exact opposite, and the user clicked further, but the link was simple to another site (advertisers site).
