Swirt,
On your page that discusses Google Analytics, you gave the following example of a "bad" bounce rate:[td]/ (home page)[/td][td]120
[/td][td]80%[/td][/tr][td]/rooms[/td][td]80
[/td][td]65%[/td][/tr][td]/policies[/td][td]19
[/td][td]75%[/td][/tr][td]/dollcollection[/td][td]82
[/td][td]99%[/td][/tr][/table]
In this example, an 80% bounce rate from the main page doesn't seem that bad IF the page they are leaving for is, let's say, the page for ROOMS or any other page within a given site. Am I totally misunderstanding Bounce Rate?
What exactly is "Conversion Rate" ? Is this the percentage increase of people that stay on a page a.k.a. the polar opposite of Bounce Rate?
Since I revamped my website, I've noticed a mark improvement of my bounce rate from around 65% down to around 25% or less. On a page by page breakdown, the percentage of people leaving my home page is still around 65%, but the number of visits to my other pages appear to be up. This is all clear as mud....but I think i'm doing something right.
Finally, is it possible to put the Google Analytics code on my Webervations page to make it appear to be part of my site? If people are clicking the link button to check availability, then they are leaving my site, which seems to me, something that would skew the results of Google Analytics.
