hey man your bounce rate Too much . Please work on your Content . People is leaving you After visiting only 1 single page Does get into your website . Bounce rate is too high here it should be between 50%-60%

The bounce rate stated here is the data for one page via a specific set of keywords, not my sites avg which is approx 40% and totally acceptable for an ecommerce website.

118 people visited your webpages.
0.00% % New Visits : no new visitor in your site
00:00:00 Avg. Time on Site : people spent 0 sec on your site
100.00% Bounce Rate : people just visited your page and move to another website

Thank you for taking the time to understand what i am asking here and for explaining the "time on site" issue in a clearer way.

I did a search by city and they did appear to be all from one source but it wasnt local to me so although the thought did occur that it may have been me i wasnt sure how accurate the geographical data is in analytics.

Thanks for a positive response i had given up on here!

The time on site stat and it's relationship with bounce rate is important to understand - here's how it works:

the visitor arrives on the page - Google sets a timestamp

at this point the visitor can do one of two things....

1. goes to another page.... Google sets another timestamp - and collects the difference between timestamp 1 and timestamp 2 - this is how long the visitor has been on the site until now ... then they can do one of two things.... go to aonther page - a third timestamp - Google works out the difference between timestamp 2 and timestamp 3 and adds it to the running total it has for the time on the site - OR - and here is the really important bit.....

2. leaves the site........ aaaargh - Google doesn't know what to do. It can't get a second timestamp for the visitor - so it just gives up and says "F*ck it - errrr - Zero" and the time on the site is 0!

So here's the thing - if you have a single page website - then every visitor will leave before visiting a second page - all your visitors will spend 0 secs oin the page according to Google - they could be there for 20 minutes each - but they will all be zeros because of how the system records the visits.

And - since they visited no other page (because there IS no other page) the bounce is 100%

Of course this can also happen if you only have the tracking code on the home/landing page (you should never do that)

As for how come all your visitors are return visitors - that one I don't know - but there is a possiblilty that occurs to me - it could be you!

Is your own site your browser home page? If so then every time you open a new window you are recorded as a visitor to your won site. You'll need to set up a filter to exclude your internal traffic in this case....

hope this helps....

These are all the

These are all the information's which a single user enter your website, and what he/she explore, and what he/she do over there... so it would be the most important thing to have look on daily basis on your analytic s, to see you daily traffic...

Yahoo bot perhaps. Spending less than a second on each page.

and this is new, its only happened for two keyphrases this month but i want to understand what could possibly cause this, maybe a bot, but i thought Google could differenciate between them. It does no good for your averages when you chuck a big fat zero in there or 100% bounce rate.

Anyone?

I understand that the time spent on site is 0:00 because the pages visited was 1 and google can only calculate the avg time if the user visits a second page due to browser limitations etc.

The reason the time spent on site is zero is because Google can only calculate the time spent on site once the visitor views their SECOND page. If you view a website landing page and leave your screen open for hours, then close the browser Google will record that visit as Zero seconds, i dont know why as i am by no means an expert but i understand the reasoning.

I dont need a rundown of what the stats mean i know what they mean i want to know what could cause them?? Can anyone answer my question?
