    Hey guys.... I just looked at one of my sites in google analytics today... I had about 10 visitors sent to my site through google's organic search results... However, their time spent on my site shows 0:00 ??? How is this possible?

    Does anyone else experience this as well? Or does it mean that my site is probably messed up somehow? Thanks in advance!

    It was probably just the Google Bot, that visited your site, to index it.

    ummm,no. :rolleyes:

    zero time means,they didn't go any further then the landing page (a bounce).
    they could have spent 20 minutes on that page,clicked an ad,or just left.
    there is no real way of knowing.

    it is the bounce rate. The moment they land on your home page your visitors click away

    Google analytics shows 100% bounce rate and 0:00 time on the page for 10 out of the 12 visitors that came from search engines....

    Does that mean they closed my window before the site fully loaded? I don't think it was googlebot because I've been having this problem everyday.

    The statistics provided by google analytic is very accurate, if you are getting 100%
    bounce rate that means that all your visitors have left your site immediately upon
    entering it. Maybe you should consider reviewing the content of your site?
