From what I understand it most certainly does. The SE use it to correlate the Search Users experience with your site. Bouncing back to the SERPS is an indictor that they may not have found the website trustworthy, or that the pages returned to them via the SERPS wasn't really relevant to their search query.

The best way to increase time on site is to provide quality content that engages the vistor.

+1 for Copyscape also

I use The WordStream PPC Advisor SAS program. It manages your Goggle Adwords and Bing AdCenter Accounts.

It has a great knowledge base that explains how to build effective ads. Of course if the website's content or landing pages aren't up to snuff, conversions may still be hard to come by.

I think you're best bet to see how your ad position affects your CTR would be to create an experiment in Adwords and set different keyword bids for the same ad. That way you could determine your sweet spot for CPC vs CTR.

Thanks I searched for the full url, not just for google.com or i would have found that. No idea how that got into the HTML code. I'll have to talk with the web designer about that.

My SEOMoz report shows a 404 error, found today for this url:

http://globalheavyhaul.com/google.com

i do not have this anchor text anywhere on my website.

How did Roger figure out that somebody looked for that page?

Do I need to worry about 404 errors that are the result of user mistakes, instead of actual bad links?

We use SightMax.com. It has terrific features and fabulous analytic reporting.

If you did a major overhaul, where you pages hardly resemble what they looked like before, you might check to see if the visitor is a first timer or returning. If She was a returning and bounced it may be that they didn't recognize the new look and feel of your site and bounced to check the search query to make sure they typed in what they thought.

I am also doing a site redesign this week so I will keep an eye on this also and report back my findings to this topic.

What page is attached to http://freightmonster.com/ if it is not the index.html ?

Should I do a redirect from the index page to something more descriptive?
