Adjusted Bounce Rate is a well-designed WordPress plugin that improves the performance and accuracy of any site’s user engagement metrics within Google Analytics.
Reduce Bounce Rate, Improve Time on Page and Session Duration
Google Analytics does not properly track some important engagement metrics like Avg Time on Site, Avg Session Duration, and Bounce Rate. This plugin uses a commonly-accepted JavaScript method of improving the accuracy of these stats.
This plugin addresses the issues as identified by the Google Analytics team at http://analytics.blogspot.com/2012/07/tracking-adjusted-bounce-rate-in-google.html.
