What is bounce ratio tracking?
Bounce ratio tracking monitors list health metrics:
Core metrics:
Total bounce rate: All bounces / messages sent. Hard bounce rate: Hard bounces / messages sent. Soft bounce rate: Soft bounces / messages sent.
- Segmentation dimensions:
- By domain/ISP. By list source. By campaign type. By time period.
- Tracking approaches:
- Per-campaign measurement. Rolling averages. Trend analysis over time. Comparison to benchmarks.
- Alerting thresholds:
- Hard bounce above 2%: Warning. Above 5%: Alert. Sudden spike: Immediate investigation.
- Use cases:
- Identify problem list sources. Catch data quality issues early. Demonstrate list health. Guide hygiene priorities.
- What gets measured gets managed. Bounce ratios quantify list quality.
