Do Lot of Tracking via Tag manager Increase Bounce Rate?
-
Hello Expert,
I am doing lots of tracking for my ecommerce site but I am not sure reason for increase in bounce rate as my traffic also increase but I want to make sure that my tracking not affecting my bounce rate.
I do tracking via page views, events, custom html, etc so for all the applicable tags Non-Interaction Hit - I set "True" so I am right here?
Thanks!

Hi Alick,
For all my track type event in tag manager, Non-Interaction Hit - I have set "True" so I need not to worry right? So I can assume reason for high bounce rate will be different reason?
Thanks!

Hi,
Lots of tracking doesn't affect bounce rate except events.Events affect the bounce rate but you have control over whether those events affect bounce rate.
See the code in this article @ http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2014/05/06/noninteraction-events-google-analytics/
Hope this helps.
Thanks

What's Causing My Extremely Low Bounce Rate
My client's site that is reporting an under 10% bounce rate for all sources. Direct is the highest at 8%. I'm no expert in GA but wondering if there is a problem with the analytics/tag manager code on the site. I'm especially concerned about the GTM body script being in an iframe which I read could be trouble. <!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->

Fire a tag when element is loaded on page (Google Tag Manager)
I'm using an Element Visibility trigger to track a value that appears on a page.

Is there a way of doing this

Tracking Organic Traffic and Conversions from multiple TLDs with Google Tag Manager
Hello Guys, I want to track traffic / conversions from different domains (basically same brand - but a lot of different TLD's). The "problem" is that the main conversion which I want to track always happens on the .com TLD and all other TLD's link to there. The problem is, that now the traffic always counts as Referral Traffic, even after setting up cross domain tracking over the google tag manager... So example: Sessions begins on example.co.uk/landing-page11 after User searched on it on google. He decides to buy the product and therefore moves to example.com for the checkout process. No I will have the conversion in my google analytics under referral with example.co.uk. --> but I want to have it under organic, and not under referral. How I can manage this? Thanks for you Help!
