Bounce rate is indicating the number of people who leaving your site just after one page view. Expats and webmasters counts the bounce rate as an important tool to measure user engagement for their website. But, it'll not affect on SEO of your website.
It's very easy to understand that- a lower bounce rate represents a highly user engagement website where people like to navigate more than one page for each session. On the other hand a higher bounce rate indicates a lower user engagement website where most of the people are leaving just after one page view.
But, above concepts is not 100% working for measuring the success of a website. Because, bounce rate may vary topic to topic and on the user requirements. For instance- if our website is a blog or any information based website, then probably you will get a higher bounce rate (as users might leave the landing page just after getting the right information). On the other hand, bounce rate will be lower for the website like online shopping where users need to navigate more than one page to reach their desired products.
Therefore, bounce rate not correctly indicating the success of a website. The success depends on the Goal conversion rate (Google Analytics) which is not related to the bounce rate. So, I think- bounce rate data are only telling us the user behavior. But, a high traffic with lower bounce rate website will attract paid advertisers very easily.

Today, the most valuable feature that the meta tags offers the web site owner is the ability to control to some degree how their web pages are described by some search engines. They also offer the ability to prevent pages from being indexed at all. They are a great advance and they are very useful.
