If I remember rightly the bounce rate is the percentage of people who land on your homepage and then bounce right off as in dont go anywhere else - the lower the number, the better.

Bounce Rate is the percentage of single-page visits (i.e. visits in which the person left your site from the entrance page).
Bounce Rate is a measure of visit quality and a high Bounce Rate generally indicates that site entrance (landing) pages aren't relevant to your visitors.
You can minimize Bounce Rates by tailoring landing pages to each keyword and ad that you run.
Landing pages should provide the information and services that were promised in the ad copy.

You can reduce your bounce rate through blocking unwanted visits. Like if your have local business in London than there is no needs to get visits from USA or from AUS so uk block visits cumming from them and thus you can able to reduce bounce rate of your website...
