for each page, you can access the report that shows the trend of entries in the selected time period.Bounce Rate
The Referrers report (Refs) lets you see which are the traffic sources with the greater Bounce Rate for these landing pages, providing you with a useful set of statistics to pinpoint critical spots and figure out what problems are encountering your visitors.
The Bounce Rate, in connection with a traffic source, helps you in understanding the possible reactions of users when arriving on your site from a specific search engine or keyword, from a given web page or from a particular campaign (banner, mail, link, or Pay Per Click).
A high Bounce Rate could be due to a gap between the landing page and the expectations that an ad in the site, in a search engine or in a promotional campaign has generated in the user.

Attention! Bounces and Bounce Rate are available since July 2010.
