That was a great tip. I use the analytics, but I´didnt realize the importance of the % Exit. Thank you so much.

Although I admit the importance of bounce rate, I think it is too much to say it is the worst page of your site if it’s the exit page …There are a number of other factors to be considered as well

Excellent tips.I check my stats at Google Analytics regularly but have never really understood all the stats.I know I could improve some of my pages to keep visitors longer at my blog.

We have one of the highest bounce rate on “thank you” page after placing an order.
I don’t get it: does it really take more than 30minutes to buy a plush toy? Or the GA misinterpret referrer..

Great tip – I’ve found few easy removable bugs thanks to this!

I don’t agree with your statement that the exit page has to be the worst page of your website! It depends on many other factors.However, it was interesting to read.

Patrick is right on the money! This is a good way to identify potential pages that needs a bit of optimization. So rather than bagging him on the topic, think of ways to use. Analysis is never black or white and every website is unique, so you can look at your data and workout why those pages have a high exit rate, it could be for a good reason like a theme download or a bad reason, if it’s bad, then you can think of improving it. Good post Patrick thanks!

Let me first say I think this is a nice little tip.

But…what about if the visitor has phoned up to buy something / make an enquiry on a product page and then closes the page after the call.

If your best priced item was 75% reduced for example, and was generating lots of phone calls, it could also appear to have a high exit rate as it would be here where many people would appear to be leaving, even though they have converted?

Maybe an extreme example as e-commerce is designed for people to buy online of course?
