This is a question that is often asked about Google Analytics, here’s the official Google definition of what a Bounce rate is :
Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page. Use this metric to measure visit quality – a high bounce rate generally indicates that site entrance pages aren’t relevant to your visitors. The more compelling your landing pages, the more visitors will stay on your site and convert. You can minimize bounce rates by tailoring landing pages to each keyword and ad that you run. Landing pages should provide the information and services that were promised in the ad copy.
In short, it’s the percentage of people that only view one page on your website. If the percentage is high this is bad if it’s low this is good. If you want to know if your bounce rate is normal check out Visitors > Bookmarking. This will allow you to compare your site’s statistics with other sites in the same category as you.
