I have conflicting user flow and bounce rates Google Analytics
-
Has anyone come across this or know how to read this data.
In my site content landing page report I have 141 sessions at 0.71% bounce rate = 1 session
But then in user flow I have the same page with 123 sessions with a drop off of 117 sessions???

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your response. Yes I did further research and realised that these number were unrealistic. Although the code didn't appear physically twice in the source I did have a third party plugin that I thought wasn't working but I assume this was applying the code to the site some other way. The plugin was tatvic.
Thanks

I have to first assume you mean a 71% bounce rate? If it is actually a .71% then you have a problem likely with analytics code placement. If the .71 is real (based on your math it is) you have to first fix that issue. Do you have analytics code before the closing HEAD tag? If so, check in your footer or BODY for a second occurrence of the code.
This is the only way I can see these numbers as real. Hope this helps.
Robert

Do modal pop-ups impact the Google Analytics of the host page?
We have an instance of a page where visitors can click a button to start an interactive quiz. The quiz pops up in a modal window that references another domain (the interactive content provider). Will the person completing the quiz in the modal pop-up still be counted as an active visitor on the original host page during the time they are completing the quiz?

Is there a way to find out who the admin of a Google Analytics account is?
We have a client who has been searching high and low to gain access to the GA account that is tied to their website, but previous agencies keep stating they don't have access. Is there a way to find out who the admins are on a GA account with the tracking number so we can reach out to that person and ask them to admin the client?
