Where can I find baseline statistics for Google Analytics?
Post Body

I'm playing with Google Analytics and doing the Analytics Academy which is very helpful. My business is an online retail shop, and while I know what kinds of metrics I should be tracking, I really don't know what is normal, bad or good on many of them. For example, a few weeks ago I happened across a blog article talking about bounce rate that mentioned general guides on what is a good and bad bounce rate. He said that in general, rates between 50 and 80 were not great but acceptable and rates over 90 were bad. But he added a little caveat that if your business is online retail, a bounce rate of 70 can be pretty standard, so in that business domain it's not a bad bounce rate.

This is the kind of thing I'd love to see.... typical, expected or average metrics to use as a baseline for online retail. Collected in one place so that I don't have to hunt all over the internet to discover them. Does anybody here know of such a resource?
