> Bounce rate just means that someone came to your site and did not interact with the analytics DB in any other way.

Oh god how many times I've tried to explain this to people. High bounce rate can even be a sign of a really good landing page in that if you don't interact with the content in any other way that could mean you found all the information you were looking for and didn't have to navigate elsewhere digging for stuff. Of course, if you have a conversion / funnel you'll be measuring that as well, and then bounce rate becomes even more useless of a metric.
