Bounce rate is essentially the ratio of visitors who visited one page. Someone might stay on a page for 30 minutes or so and the visit is interpreted as a bounce. This metric fails to tell whether a page is good or not.

I tend to push things into tabs to read later. So I'd probably be counted as a bounce fairly often, even if the page was great.
