Hello, Assume visitor lands on my website homepage and immediately after landing he clicks on an external link in footer or somewhere. So leaving my website to some other .. Will analytics count this as bounce? Or bounce is strictly closing of a page by clicking on (X). Answers will be appreciated. ps. Another question. Can we add more than 5 sites in Analytics now? In past only 5 were allowed, I wonder if this is changed or not yet.
ya, i think if they come to the site, then leave without visiting any other pages, it's considered a bounce..
Yes that would count as a bounce. If they stay on a page about 5 seconds or less that counts as a bounce. Not sure about how many sites you can add to google analytics.
you can have as many sites you want. there is a 5 million page view limit per month.that limit can be removed if you use adwords.
Thanks for the answers guys. It really helped. +reps I was actually worrying about my high bounce rate. I guess its all fine now. zodiac, thank you for clearing this.
