Bad design is a big one. Not the information the user was seeking is another. Music or video that auto plays make users flee like no other.
You need to present the info and then have supporting, relevant links to other items to keep the user clicking. For example, Related Posts.

Sites that do not have a lot of useful info on them will give you a high bounce rate.

Yes, this is the way SEO works.. because Google has to consider around 200 factors in SEO... if any site has bounce rate problem but other signals are strong then it would rank high as well....

I keep waiting for Google to clean those sites out of search. And, with every algorithm update, many disappear but just as many appear as webmasters find loopholes around the restrictions.

If the visitor expect to see sky pictures and find out SEO I am afraid will instantly go back to google, if he expect to see new things about bounce rate and find out the exact article he read yesterday will go back in seconds, if the page give him new information (from the first paragraph) then I bet he will stay and read'em all...

Number one in my book would have to be slow loading pages. If a page does not load fast for me then I usually leave it quickly.

That's a really good point. If someone clicks through from Google expecting to see one thing but is confronted with something else they are not likely to stay. And, I think sometimes pages rank high for a keyword that was not targeted or maybe Google wrongly classified the page as being relevant. Or possibly, the webmaster targeted popular keywords but didn't bother making his page about that subject. In any case, it's likely to cause a website visitor to want to leave the site quickly.

I will almost always shut a page down or hit the back button if a page does not load in a few seconds. Even with my slow internet, there is no excuse for slow loading pages.

Thanks. And like I said above if you promote your site to inappropriate places, your traffic is far away for being targeted so again, bounce rate will be bad. What is your opinion regard this?

A page that has too much on it. One that is all jumbled up and cluttered does not appeal to me at all. I usually leave these pages right away.

Bounce rate as defined by @sunil0021 can be caused by various reasons.
Slow page loads are a headache. The one that I have got now, help appreciated. Even if you got golden content visitors won't get a chance to see it unless you show it (real quick).
Question : What happens with one page sites (like 4everyone) ?
I wonder how the bounce rate of sites get calculated which only have one page content. And there are several such sites which load content via AJAX and don't need users to click a link & go to a different page.
Won't their bounce rate be 100%.
