How does it work

Get the real Time On Site and Bounce Rate in Google Analytics. Google Analytics calculates the Time On Site based on the length of time between a user entering your site and their last page view. This won't give you the REAL Time on Site and Bounce Rate stats.

See these screenshots *Increase Time on Site *Decrease Bounce Rate

Worst case scenario A visitor is very interested in one of your pages and takes 2 minutes and 13 seconds to read the article. After this he bookmarks the page and leaves. This visitor stayed 2 minutes and 13 seconds on your page, but never interacted with it. To Google that is a bounce! And bounced visits are marked 0:00 Time on Site. Not fair, right?

Another bad scenario A visitor goes to your website and stays 1 minute and 11 seconds on the first page. Then, he goes to a second page where he stays 1 minute and 12 seconds. Without any interaction on this page, he leaves. Since Google doesn't know how long your visitor stayed on the second page, Google will add only the time the visitor spent on the first page to Analytics. Not fair, right?

This plugin sets this straight. It will tell Google Analytics every 10 seconds that your visitor is still on the page and on top of that it will also let Google know there was some interaction on that page.

This plugin makes use of Google's Event Tracking API and is totally accepted by Google. The results are more accurate Time on Site and Bounce Rate statistics. The plugin is based on a script made by Brian Cray.

Simple and effective. Out-of-the-box.

Less turkish traffic will reduce my bounce rate. Thanks plugrush.

      return t[0] == 50 ? (parseInt(t[1]) + 1) + ':00' : (t[1] || '0') + ':' + (parseInt(t[0]) + 10);

    window.pageTracker ? pageTracker._trackEvent('Time', 'Log', tos) : _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Time', 'Log', tos]);
  }, 10000);
})('00');
</script>

Not sure if Google will love such an approach. Anyways, it won't work without GA account and ga.js

Just a quote from https://developers.google.com/analyt...ntTrackerGuide:

Quote:

Events Per Session Limit

In addition to general collection limits and quotas, the following limit applies to event tracking in ga.js:

The first 10 event hits sent to Google Analytics are tracked immediately, thereafter tracking is rate limited to one event hit per second.

As the number of events in a session approaches the collection limit, additional events might not be tracked. For this reason, you should:

avoid scripting a video to send an event for every second played and other highly repetitive event triggers
avoid excessive mouse movement tracking
avoid time-lapse mechanisms that generate high event counts

That is very promising! Would work awesome with mainstream text heavy sites too

That's almost the same approach as in plugin.

Better to do it as Google suggests. E.g. open any page say from pornhub.com and analyze the code (note the _gaq object use there)

Damn - It must be good...

ctggls · 05-26-2013, 10:47 AM

I've placed it on one of my blogs and bounce rate dropped by 15%.... I've also placed piwik to see if there is any difference.

Google says you can do it this way...

The only negative thing would be this :

One thing website owners should be vary of, though, that not only the function may slow down the users' experience, even insignificantly, but will also increase the volume of hits your site sends to Google Analytics, which might bring your usage over the limit (currently set at 10 mln hits per month).

ctggls · 05-27-2013, 12:56 AM

The results are somewhat the same, with the plugin or this rule, setTimeout("_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', '15_seconds', 'read'])",15000);

With the plugin the bounce rate dropped to about 31% fro 45% and with the rule above is about 32% and the timeout was set to 45 seconds.

I'll update this thread in the next couple of days after more tests are done.

The only difference is that the plugin does the same but every 10 seconds.

Yeah I know but 10 seconds it's to short... If you ca barely keep your user engaged for 10 seconds that you really have a problem... If you have a site with lots of images 10 seconds might be the load time...

If it takes a page 10 secs to fully load you already lost most of the surfers

Here's an idea. How about 1 person. Just 1. 1.... demonstrate that they improved bounce rates and SE traffic/Rankings increased as a direct result. In fact, how do you think Google even knows what bounce rates are unless every site they index uses Analytics?

This seems like it would be really difficult to test, as there's multiple factors always in play in regards to rankings.

The script is cool to see a more "accurate" bounce rate in analytics, but IMO, if you're trying to use this as a crutch to lower your high bounce rate, you should be focusing on improving content and user experience to get your user's to actually interact with your site.
