Just going over my web analytics stats again, and one thing I just noticed is that google is saying that my SEARCH ENGINE traffic has a bounce rate of ONLY 11%

That CAN'T be right!

My DIRECT TRAFFIC, which is from an opt-in email, is about 50%, which SEEMS about right to me.

For Referring Sites, the bounce rate is listed at 48% which also seems LOW to me (I would imagine it should be around 70% or more).

so in short, I think that something is definitely affecting how google measures bounce rate from Search engine referrals.
