But I've been using Entrecard which is probably worse than Stumbleupon when it comes to clicking away. But I'm slowing down on that, at least on my main blog. I was a traffic chaser for while. I will be going for less quantity and more quality in the future. It's just too much work to only see the result as a number on a site. My bounce rate is right up next to yours.

I skimmed it and will read it for more detail later when I have the chance (I will probably Stumble it as well). I started working on my main blog in September, having had a family blog that I've worked on since late 2006. I'm still trying to learn all the ins and outs of running a blog. The writting I love, but most everything else is really new to me and I find that it takes an awful lot of time to learn it. I only recently started thinking about my bounce rate, I imagine that I need to changes things around so that readers can more easily find posts that they want to read. Best of luck to you.

I hadn't thought of that, but you are right. That puts my own statistics into perspective. Thanks.

I think it's not how long they stay that's too important - it's the hope that they'll come back. Hi Elizabeth – Since using StumbleUpon my bounce rate is similar to yours.
