Wouldn't that depend on the web site? I do not know how "average" I am, but I mostly come to new web sites from search engines. If the web site has the information I am looking for, and I am able to see that (i.e., the pages do not take forever to load), I go through the web site for as long as it keeps me interested. I may even bookmark it and come back. If the web site does not hold my interest, I leave very quickly. Also, I tend to leave most free web sites very quickly. Not because they are free, but most of them tend to pop up a separate advertising window. If it only happens once, I just close the ad before it even finishes loading. But if it keeps popping up on every page, I'm outa there. On very few occasions, when such a free site was of extreme interest, have I stayed on it despite this nuisance: I went to my preferences and turned javascript off, just so I could navigate the site. But it had to be a super-interesting site for me to go through that trouble. And even in such a case, I am less likely to ever come back.
