I'd definitely be curious to see if your 900 sites also show the PV bucketing behaviour or if that was just coincidence for me. Man that'd be cool if G would let you switch bucketing metrics so you could say - of all the sites that have bouncerates like mine, what are the other stats. That'd be sweet. And the interpretation you provide is a good one - consistent with searchers' behaviours, but I'd like to make the site stickier, so that people come and say, that was a neat piece, what else is up in here? Let me subscribe to the RSS. And let me click on a few of these ads.

Less page views and more bounces could mean you're doing a great job, if it means you're putting what people want on the page they land on, and they don't have to click a bunch of extra times to get there. (The opposite would be something like MySpace, where you have to click through 10 pages to get to what should have happened in one or two.)
