This thread got me thinking and taking a deeper look at my bounce rate and so I'll share a tip with you this morning that helped me late last night. If you set up an exclude filter on the referrer spam you're getting (accessa.me / forex / unlimited hosting scams etc.) then you will enjoy an immediate reduction in your bounce rate.
You can easily identify other bots by their signature '0' time on site, 100% bounce.
Remove them from the equation and your average rate will quickly improve
