I have attached a gif file...as u can see in the pic... the average time on site is always zero...this is always true for 95% of my traffic sources....please check out why the average time is always zero...is my site slow loading or there is some problem with analytics tracking.
Hi there, As far as I see, not only the average time on site is quite low, but also the Bounce rate is very high. Hard to tell without seeing the site and the keywords, but seems like the search keyphrases which drive traffic to your site do not match the actual content on your site very well. I'd advise you to either adjust the landing page to better match the keywords which bring you traffic, or try to target different keywords for your site.
Well, the average Time low because of your bounce rate too high. For example: 4 vistor spend 30 minutes each on your site, but 56 visitor spend 0 minutes (bounce rate = 91%), then your average time will be 1 minute. Try add more quality content to reduce the bounce rate, then you can see your everage time will increase
Bounce rate pretty much depends on the type of site. For example, for forums, bounce rate should be low. But if someone need to know the meaning of a word, then he/she will most probably open the page, see the meaning and then close the page. However, avg time depends pretty much on the quality of content on your site. Improve it to improve avg time.
Hello... What is a realistic bounce rate for a decent site? say a site with 1000 uniques daily...50 or 40 less? thx m1
do you know the source of your visitors? sometimes this happens when you buy bad quality traffic from somewhere
60% comes from mainly google and another 30% from 2 forums (not really in the same niche) but account for 80,000 visitors & bots and then another 10% from very close niches sites where we have banners and links. Maybe the 2 forums are doing it? ... though anylitics say 50-100 (from forums) & awstats show much much more for those 2 forums (80,000). thx malcolm
just make sure the code is site wide.if they land on a page with the code and then go to page without it,it will be a bounce. no he doesn't,the picture gives no clue.
@malcolm1, as far as Realstic bounce rate with decent site is less then 40%, as of decent site having pretty good content that attracts visitors to read it due to that average time duration on site will increase.. so provide interesting content that your visitor love to read and bookmark it..
@Dipali I want to know about best avg. time on site. Every website is own statistic regarding it. But, which one will give us benefits in terms of SEO?
