Google Instant Pages Inflating Analytics Stats

    Google lately introduced a few innovative features, one of which is Instant Pages. Here pages are pre-rendered so that page views are generated even while you are typing the search queries and haven't clicked or entered the terms.

    Addressing concerns, Google has said there is a "small possibility" that this feature in Chrome can cause inflated Analytics statistics. Google's experimental Page Visibility API scores a page because it is visible in a browser although it is not a legitimate view.

    Do you think Google shall take care of this new headache?
