How to improve my bounce rate?

I feel my site has a very poor bounce rate and I have been doing a lot of research around how to improve bounce rates. Here are some points that I have discovered. Hope you find them useful:
  1. Improve and optimize your page load time
  2. Browser Compatibility - Make sure your site is cross tested on all browsers to ensure they work for everyone.
  3. Ensure nothing automatically starts. Visitors often click away and out when they see a video or audio automatically starting. Let visitors decide for themselves if they want to watch your video or listen to your audio.
  4. Optimize heading and copy - Headings capture the attention of visitors straight away. Ensure you optimize them and make them enticing for visitors to keep them reading the rest of the page
  5. Keep all components clear - Don't clutter your site with too many banners, images, buttons and call to actions. Keep the navigation clear and simple to encourage people to look around.

I hope this will help you guys. I would love to hear about more tips that you have found worked or are trying.

Use no advertisement if you don't want your visitor leave your site and also give them interesting content to read.

I would suggest you to set up a blog, and update it daily, this might help to increase traffic and visitors, also reduce your bounce rate.

My site has no ad's and I wont be putting them on either,
but does having ads on make people click away from the site,
just thinking about my own behavior I would say.

But keeping people on site, good relevant content, and I'm a believer in keeping things simple, easy navigation, clear headlines and not too much clutter or bright flashy headlines unless you are targeting kids

No 3 skady another good point I forgot to add.

Video or music starting to play automatically, and I have to go and search for the turn off button, bugs the hell out of me, so much so, that if I even begin to hear music and the site does not catch me in any way, I immediately close it.

As usual you have no idea what "bounce rate" means for your pages.

So you are giving pointless advice for a NON-problem. Instead of looking at Google Analytics and deciding that it is "not right" I'd suggest you LEARN what it means for YOUR PAGES.
