    I got hurt by the Panda update... My bounce rate is decent though, or so I thought.

        Hmm...well I would say that if your site got a major hit from google's new panda then you probably were doing some naughty in your seo.

          can someone post any link from any google source that bounce rated is actually part of the panda update?

            I haven't found one yet. Just a lot of "I think" or "We believe" type articles.

                I would say you need to go read around the webmaster boards and count how many seasoned webmasters that have been hit and are saying there's absolutely no rhyme or reason to it.

                  it truly was the "tube update."

                      tube sites update daily, therefore a surfer who comes back tomorrow will find something new, stay and again help the bounce rate.

                      No new content? Repeat visitors will kill your bounce rate.

                      Google likes high backlinks + low bounce rates

                      If you need backlinks, let me know. The bounce rate is up to you and your testing and seo skills.

                        i guess bounce rate and the panda update will be one of those things that pass into seo mythology without any actual basis in fact.

                                    somewhat OT but i ddin't wanna start another thread.

                                    they're ripping G's panda results apart using examples from their site:

                                        Those pointers are pretty basic and we should be following most of them anyway.

                                        But Solution #3 Make your pages longer hits the average adult blogger hard. We may all post 'quality' text, but it's about selling membership to a porn site and we know that the surfer really wants to see some videos or more pics (unless they are into reading erotica rather than jerking off at the first opportunity).
                                        We also know that too many delaying tactics will have the surfer closing our site and looking somewhere else for his quick fix (probably a tube site). So it's striking a balance between not getting hit by google and actually making a sale. And this update has made it harder to do that.

                                          EXACTLY what i've been fighting with for several years now. it has been a PITA writing all the copy i have, and i'd bitch and cry every day. but it was paying off in SE traffic.

                                          G done went and fucked that off

                                              this kind of shit hurts my feelings. especially when its an all unique content site with a unique design and the works. everything i thought was pretty SEO sound before this update. good link structure, unique content, relevant backlinks, the works. it's not even a blog it's my own personal script and no it isn't a tube site. from the sounds of this thread i guess i need to switch over to the video format.

                                              now it's basically shit. traffic is down to like 1/6th of what it was before the 2nd or something of this month.

                                                  now it's basically shit. traffic is down to like 1/6th of what it was before the 2nd or something of this month.

                                                    It's probably right next to the list of 11 herbs and spices in KFC or, if you're lucky, the ingredients for Classic Coke

                                                        Can someone explain something to me. (making up numbers) In google analytics one of my sites 'avg time on site' is 2:30 but the 'avg time on pages' is 7:30

                                                        How does google calculate that?

                                                        Another site of mine with a higher bounce rate just doubled in google traffic. So I do not know how much that bounce rate is factoring in.

                                                              the people who are crying |bounce rate| have no proof and are just trying to sell their content writing services.

                                                              like third world written content is going to keep a surfer on your page anyway.

                                                                          How does google calculate that?

                                                                          Another site of mine with a higher bounce rate just doubled in google traffic. So I do not know how much that bounce rate is factoring in.
                                                                          different keywords have different bounce rates.

                                                                          Once site may rank with 30% for "sex toys"
