Google Analytics: how to filter out pages with low bounce rate?

[fablau]

Hello here,

I am trying to find out how I can filter out pages in Google Analytics according to their bounce rate.

The way I am doing now is the following:

1. I am working inside the Content > Site Content > Landing Pages report

2. Once there, I click the "advanced" link on the right of the filter field.

3. Once there, I define to "include" "Bounce Rate" "Greater than" "0.50" which should show me which pages have a bounce rate higher of 0.50%.... instead I get the following warning on the graph:

"Search constraints on metrics can not be applied to this graph"

I am afraid I am using the wrong approach... any ideas are very welcome!

Thank you in advance.

Hi Fabrizio,

If you put 50 in the 'bounce rate greater than box' instead of 0.5 then the table shown below the graph shows the data you want (only bounce rates over 50%, I think that is what you are after right?). I guess the graph cannot be show this filtered data although you can click the 'select a metric' link next to the visits dropdown on the top/left of the graph and add bounce rate to see the average bounce rate by visits/day if that helps with getting a baseline.

I would also look into sorting the data by the metrics you want, and using weighted sort instead of the default. Weighted sort takes into account other metrics as well - so this way, when you sort by bounce rate, it doesn't just show you 100% bounce rate at the top, even if that page only has 1 view and so is skewed, but gives you a much better idea at pages that are performing poorly and actually getting visits.

You can read more about weighted sort here on the GA blog - http://analytics.blogspot.co.il/2010/08/introducing-weighted-sort.html

Hope this helps,

Mark

Thank you Lynn, yes sorry, I meant 50% not 0.50% (I got confused with the conversion rate). Yes, I didn't notice that the data under the graph was actually updated, looks like it is just the graph that doesn't show that kind of filtered data (too bad!).

Thank you again, I appreciated your help!

Thank you Mark! Yes, I knew about that option and helps a big deal!

I appreciated your help. Thanks!
