That's what I hate about the stat, most of the time it doesn't mean a damned thing. The only time it really means something is if you are a direct merchant to seller. If you are just the middle man it doesn't matter. You are definitely right. Loyal readers do increase bounce rate. That’s what I hate about the stat, most of the time it doesn’t mean a damned thing.

I remember John C0W being worried about his bounce rate, but in the end I think the more emphasis should be put on Average time on site, as opposed to bounce rate :) Me personaly, if I love a website, especialy if its a blog, and I am a regular reader, more than likely I refresh the page to see if theres new content, and I don't often click through on other articles, because I've already read it. So therefore I am increasing the bounce rate! But, in reality it wasn't a bad thing.... Am I wrong? lol Sincerely, Jean Costa I think some bloggers get carried away about “bounce rates”, and put too much emphasis on it.

I am going to share this with my stumble upon friends, I'm sure they'll show their appreciation as well. Thank you for explaining bounce rate, I had no idea what it meant.
