There are other metrics to take into consideration while looking at bounce rates like, how many of those bounces are human? And, could someone program a bot to sit there and generate high bounce rates for your site and wreak havoc on the metrics and the performance of your site?

What happens if you discover a competitor is doing this? How does one protect their site from this kind of sabotage?
