I would like to say something here regarding Bounce rate. Normally people who owns a blog feels that their blog has high bounce rate. Generally blogs has higher bounce rate than other sites this is because people just spent 15 to 20 minutes to read a single blog on a same page in a site. But according to Google analytics if the user exit the site within 30 mins after visiting just single page is considered as Bounce rate. That's what the reason is. And for a perfect site, bounce rate should be less than 30%. Thanks again :) Hi Larry, Thanks for sharing nice tips to track SEO progress.

Something else I would add to this discussion is the importance of PATIENCE... results don't happen overnight (at least for me) and sometimes the hardest thing is the waiting. :) I also like that your first point is the most important one (again in my opinion)... conversion rate! scott hi Larry,

I got to position 2 or 3 for an emerging niche last year and got a lot of traffic and made a lot of cash. I figured it was easy to sit back, do nothing and just cash the cheques. Boy was I wrong, Competition became stronger and stronger and I was given the boot. I am now floating around position 8 and making nowhere near as much $$$. If you are not constantly adding content/backlinks etc, you can bet that somebody else is! Hey @Chris Marper.

Interesting thought on what is an acceptable bounce rate. I'd also be interested in what how much work people feel is necessary in keeping a site ranking in the top 3 for a keyword once it is there. Do you sit back and hope it stays, or have a regular routine of adding content, backlinks etc to make sure it holds its position.

I definitely need to start focusing more on stats. When you say reviewing products on Amazon do you mean actually doing the review on their website? If so, I had no clue I could link to my own blog/website from those reviews. Gotta check that out because I do a lot of shopping on Amazon for products in my niche. And as far as creating a page about your company in Wikipedia, how do you do that? Learn something new every time I come to Lynn's blog, man she rocks doesn't she? Really good info!

You can't plainly rely on the result of bounce without considering all the things that might affect the process. The computation is quite logical.
