Nice article.

I think deep linking may also affect bounce rate, meaning the search engines have gotten so good at serving the page that a visitor needs, they may not have a need to click another page.

Also, I looked at my report for the entire last year and noticed my site’s bounce rate skyrocketed from mid 40’s to mid 60’s once images.google.com started sending traffic. Traffic is traffic I suppose, if they like what they see, they may visit something else, and that’s the point really.

Then again, I’m no SEO expert by any means.

Funny, I was curious what the bounce rate meant just the other day. After reading this article, I get why many web design blogs I read have a “similar/related posts” section on the sidebar/article footer.

Thanks for the good read, Mike!
