News!! Blogger As Well As Analytics Adjusted-Bounce-Rate

I've had interesting discussions alongside people nigh whether the bounce-rate inwards Google Analytics is worthwhile: 1 of my sites has data nigh local double-decker routes too neighbourhoods, too many visitors entirely involve to await at 1 page (the 1 suggested past times Google search) to instruct the data they need.  I've long believed that these people counted equally a "bounce" (ie await at a page too leave), acre friends assured me that Google is smarter than that too wouldn't count visits that final for a for certain length of fourth dimension equally bounces.

I've simply discovered that I was correct later on all: past times default, Analytics counts all one-page-only visitors equally bounces.

Google accept directly told us how to alter this, too non count visitors equally bounces if they remain on the site for a for certain length of fourth dimension (we tin forcefulness out select how long)

Unfortunately this pick isn't fully available to Blogger users at the moment. We tin forcefulness out either


1)  Install Analytics inwards a agency that it plant properly alongside dynamic too mobile templates,

Thsi approach volition most probable survive supported if Blogger invent whatever other types of templates inwards the future, then is what I recommend now.  GreenLava explains how to create this here. 


OR


2) Install the Analytics code inwards the same agency it gets pose into other websites.

This won't count visitors who thought the spider web log using a dynamic template (either because you lot select 1 or because they added a ascendence to your URL inwards lodge to encounter your spider web log that way).
And if you lot accept enabled a mobile template, it volition entirely count visitors using mobile devices if you lot have:

• Installed the Analytics code using an HTML/Javascript gadget (I've explaiend how to create this here)
• Edited your template then that gadget is "shown" on mobile templates (by default, HTML/Javascript gadgets aren't - I've explained how to alter this nigh the cease of this article)

So at the moment, our options for Blogger are to either count visitors properly too non encounter the adjusted bounce-rate, or undercount the visitors but instruct the custom-adjusted bounce rate.
