Ask HN: Is there such thing as a bounce rate that's "too low"?

I doubt it is bad, actually I think it is pretty good!
Thanks! I'm definitely not complaining, but it's a complete 180 since up until February my bounce rate floated between 80 and 100%
I had made some REALLY significant changes around that time, and the drop could be attributed to any and all of them.
Some changes I made: - Migrated from Posterous to WordPress - New theme (on account of the migration) - Changed URLs (but kept 301 Redirects in place so links wouldn't break)

The other possibility is that my bounce rate just isn't "correct," although I don't have any idea as to why this might be.
According to Google analytics, my bounce rate over the past month is less than 1% with just under 1,400 visits. The average time spent on my site weighs in at just over 1 minute and 10 seconds. I make a couple pennies a week via AdSense.
