What is The Bounce Rate of Single Page Website?
-
Hi All,
I just want to clear some of my confusion regarding bounce rate.
- Bounce rate depends upon time. If yes than how?
- What will be the bounce rate for single page website.
- Single page website will have same bounce rate and exit rate?
-
In this case they target the time out period. This is a bit different from the time on site. The time out period is in most cases (like for example Google Analytics) 30 minutes. When you're inactive for about 30 minutes a visit will count as a new visit instead of a duration of your former 'visit.

Thanks Martijn,
Can you please elaborate the concept of session in bounce rate?
Per wikipedia "The bounce rate for a single page is the number of visitors who enter the site at a page and leave within the specified timeout period without viewing another page, divided by the total number of visitors who entered the site at that page. In contrast, the bounce rate for a web site is the number of web site visitors who visit only a single page of a web site per session divided by the total number of web site visits."
In above definition, time period has mentioned, so here again my point is:
If bounce rate doesn't depend upon time than Bounce Rate should be same whether visitor bounce back in single session or after session expires??
-
- No, bounce rate is not depending upon time.
- I have no clue ;-), this fully depends on the market you're in, how the page looks like and dozens of other aspects.
- Good question, I would say: yes.

Bounce rate is the percentage of visits that go only one page before exiting a site. You can change the way Analytics sees the bounce rate, f.e. if the visitors stays for 20 seconds, or scrolls down in a time period.

How can I make sure that we are only tracking for single URLs?
Is there a way to track in Google analytics where part of the URL is excluded. For example, we need to track when customers complete an application form, however whenever a new form is completed a new URL is created. This makes it difficult to track pages in GA as there are so many URLs.

Webmaster Tools Indexed pages vs. Sitemap?
Looking at Google Webmaster Tools and I'm noticing a few things, most sites I look at the number of indexed pages in the sitemaps report is usually less than 100% (i.e. something like 122 indexed out of 134 submitted or something) and the number of indexed pages in the indexed status report is usually higher. So for example, one site says over 1000 pages indexed in the indexed status report but the sitemap says something like 122 indexed. My question: Is the sitemap report always a subset of the URLs submitted in the sitemap? Will the number of pages indexed there always be lower than or equal to the URLs referenced in the sitemap? Also, if there is a big disparity between the sitemap submitted URLs and the indexed URLs (like 10x) is that concerning to anyone else?

Are Vampires Haging Out On My Website
Buon pomeriggio from Wetherby multiple community flower bed winner 😉 On a site I'm working on web analytics is reporting traffic spiked in the early hours of the morning by a huge margin (this is so wrong). Yes its a multi national site but looking at the global distribution of visitors there really is no accounting for this. Here is a link to the data:

X2 Google Analytics affect page rank ?
Hi there, If you had 2 Google Analytics Accounts one to the main site and another to the blog, could this affect the page position in Google? We've suddenly noticed a drop in our KWs and it was shortly after we added another Google Analytics Account. The blog has 68% Bounce rate and the main site has always been about 48%. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Paul
