Hey MLF,

I could do with some advise here. Over the last 4-5 days the bounce rate on our site from ALL sources has gone from something we were proud of 42% to 100%? I cant seem to get to the bottom of this but for the last 3 days, from approx 9 traffic sources 100% have bounced. Nothing has changed on the site, in our adwords or anything else?

Can anyone ofer any explination or advise on what the H*** is going on?

Thanks

Could it be a glitch in the stats? Do you have access to another set of ststas such as analytics, etc? Double check them somewhere else.

Probably need to wait and see for a little longer to see if was just a blip.

Thanks guys, I use analytics which is where I got the stats from, it grew daily over about 5 days and hit 100% for 2 days but appears to dropping again now?

I've never seen it before (hope I never again)

I've had a similar problem this month with my stats being screwed. luckily I can isolate the problem as I had heavy spam traffic form one place in Florida that coursed the issue

Could it be that the server is slow, so that people don't even wait for the page to load?

No the servers hosting the site are about as fast as they can be..

This actually turned out to be a temporary thing. It was never explained but is back to normal now!

Probably a jealous competitor lol
