Google AnalyticsBounce RateThe Bounce rate of the website is over 50%. Bounce rate means how many people reached the website and left it in less than 30 seconds. So for all the traffic the website is getting, more than 50% of it is bouncing out of the website. The overall design and user friendliness helps in lower bounce rates.
Google AnalyticsBounce KeywordsAs you can see on the right the main keywords have the maximum bounce rates. Sometimes the bounce rates are high because the visitors coming on the site are searching for something the site is not offering and thus when reaching the site they leave. But in this case the traffic that the site is getting from search engines like Google is very focussed.

Google AnalyticsMain Exit PagesHome page is the main exit page which is a concern. Please see 10 most exit pages on the website mentioned on the right hand side.
Google AnalyticsVisitors GenderThough the website is targeting moms, it is surprising to note that majority of the visitors are actually men. This means that the website focus should be moved from women only and be made to be more generic (both genders centric). The imagery, the color scheme, content tone etc., has to be appropriate so that it does not give a message that the site offers opportunities only for women.
Google AnalyticsTraffic from Search EnginesThe website is getting most of its traffic from Yahoo and Bing (MSN search engine). Google being the third source of traffic right now can get the site more visitors as more people in the world use it over others. So if proper Search engine optimization is done addressing the on page and off page factors the visitors can greatly increase from Google.
Google AnalyticsMobile Traffic32% traffic that the website is getting is through some mobile devices. Thus it is good idea to have a separate Mobile version of the site to make it easy for the visitors to browse the website on mobile devices.
We suggest adding some goals to your website to track how the visitors are interacting with your website and
if they are completing the desired steps.
