Topics range across the spectrum of whatever we found interesting that day. Still, it's interesting to see what topics and medium were most compelling. And no surprise, looking at bounce rate shows that topics that are part of a thematic thread or are completely unique to our site have the lowest bounce rate.For instance, I crocheted a hat last week in honor of Alexandre Bilodeau's Olympic gold medal for Canada and blogged on it, titling it "In Honor of Gold, I'm Making A Bobbled Bilodeau." Three days later, we posted "Bobbled Bilodeau Update," and guess what? A bounce rate of zero.Thanks again for enlightening!Ciao, Kathy Thanks for the helpful explanation.

Las visitas rebotadas no te van a dejar una opinión sobre tu site, pero si lo hicieran, te dirían “no me interesa seguir navegando por tu página, no me llamas la atención”. Eso es igual a “no pienso comprarte”. Es decir, un usuario ha llegado al site, y no sólo no ha hecho nada y se ha ido, sino que nosotros hemos perdido la oportunidad de mostrarle quiénes somos, y, al menos, despertar su interés. Sería igual que un cliente potencial que ha entrado en nuestra tienda al ver el escaparate, y tal como ha venido, se ha ido. No se ha molestado en darse una vuelta por ella. [...] [...]
