Bounce Rates: Leaving my domain.com/blog to shop on mydomain.com counts as bounce rate?

[prozis]

Hello!

I have a kind of difficult question.

On my main domain i have:

Store: mydomain.com and wordpress blog on mydomain.com/blog

If I have a link to a specific product on my blog and user goes to the product on the store, will bounce rate increase or as it's the same domain will be like a new page view?

Different CMS's and blog is on a different analytics account than the store.

I hope i could explain myself!

Thank you

No - that's not what I meant - the UA-XXXXXXXX needs to be identical for both.
If you want to have separate reports for the blog & the shop - you can do that using filters in analytics.

Thank you for your answer.

So, just to make it clear.
Doesn't need to be on the same property (UA-XXXXXXXX) but on the same account?

I added an attachment.

So:

(A) is the account
(1) the blog
(2) the store

Is it ok like that? (1) inside of (A) or should be (1) inside of (2) - still both inside of (A)

Thank you!

Normally it shouldn't count as a bounce as you stay on the same domain.

As you are using two different Analytics accounts however it will count as a bounce. The first account is not aware that the visitor is continuing his visit on the blog section and vice versa. The fact that different CMS is used has no impact.

I would suggest to use one analytics account to track both main domain / blog.
