Bounce Rates With Google Tag Manager Listener

By Ben Khatib


I was frustrated with my bounce rate until I found out that Google Analytics can't monitor bounce rate in a fair way.A bounce is when a user lands on your page and leaves right away. However, sometimes a visitor will stay a few minutes, and Google Analytics unfairly counts it as a bounce.



Then Google came up with Google Tag Manager. This was designed to make it easy to keep track of things like this.

Once this happens, the visit will no longer be counted as a bounce. You can then create a segment that lets you see how many people spent less than 15 seconds on a page. This will be a better measurement of your true bounce rate.

By doing so, you can figure out how many people are only briefly visiting your site and then leaving.Google Tag Manager has many powerful features that you can use to manage your website. By measuring your real bounce rate, you can get a better understanding of your traffic.

Using the Google Tag Manager with event listeners can help you better understand what your visitors are actually doing. You will be able to track what people click on and the exact amount of time people are spending on the site. This gives you a much better understanding of what your website bounce rate really is. When you know this you will be able to tell which parts of your website works and which do not.

Google Tag Manager can save you a lot of time. Now, instead of spending time trying to make sense out of the numbers that you have collected, you can spend more time actually building up customer relationships and marketing your product or services. The bounce rate for a webpage is intended to measure how many people only visit the site briefly, rather than interacting with it in any meaningful way. A bounce is defined as a visit in which someone just looks at a single page and doesn't interact with the site. However, this is not always an accurate way to measure whether someone is really engaged with a site or not.The reason that this can be a problem is that for some sites, such as blogs, someone can come and read a blog post without clicking on any other links or interacting with the site. This will be counted as a bounce even though the visitor was certainly engaged with the site.
