Does this high bounce rate traffic from ppc hurt my rankings?

    I'm assuming you mean natural rankings. As I don't believe bounce rate is a ranking factor, SEO or PPC, no. If you believe that it does, then yes since the search engine doesn't care where your traffic comes from.

    Yes, some times. If your website bounce rate is around 80% or more than 80% it may indicate to Google about quality of your website.

    So, try to give very good layout to users and reduce the bounce rate of your website.

      Do you guys know what bounce rate even means? How would putting a funny photo on your landing page help AT ALL?
