I will go first and share my bounce rate (it strikes me that it is awful) as I have no idea what everyone else gets with theirs. Please save your mockery and hateful comments should it be a high bounce rate, but on the other hand reach for the microphone and clearly tell me how great I am and how nice I look in a bow tie if it is slightly respectable.

Bounce Rate: 63%
Visits: 3,557
Average Time: 2:39

These numbers are for the last 30 days and I took down my German bratwurst survey as most people found it boring.

How many of those visitors turned into leads?
I average about 40% to 50% bounce rate.

I don't know. Time to check Google Analytics. I don't think the average person stays very long.

What is your primary referral source? Also, do you have a heat map overlay of your site to see what's most popular?

I get about 15 leads a day sometimes more if I jack up the PPC. Of course most of these are other insurance agents goofing around. Pranksters! The rest are family members who love me.
Pangaea (great question) I am in the middle of reading a google analytics book right now (its worse than being waterboarded, and slower then my page load times) so I have not ventured into the higher functions of the analytics as yet. I do know that everyone is from Florida and a small city in Honduras as I am trying to incite a farming revolution.

Good stuff, when you compile some data I'll gladly go over it with you for a few minutes to help you interpret what you're reading...

Those analytics courses have to come in handy sometime right?

I figured my bounce rate was a little high though which I believe might be hurting me with SEO. I am not certain about many SEO ideas however I do believe that Google will let you dominate for a search term if you are able to satisfy the searchers request. I would guess that a function of this, is by definition a low bounce rate, more then one page view, and a good time spent on the site. I could be wrong about this entirely though, as it seems some sites in our business get a high ranking and essentially are just quote engines. Perhaps this might be a factor of the site age and trust factor.
This however is a hefty question and I would love to hear from the Insurance Forums Seo panel their thoughts on this, as this is the reason (besides knowing if I had a high bounce rate) was the reason I started this thread. Thanks so much for analytics offer and I will certainly take you up on that when time allows!
