Key Terms Defined• Visits = Sessions. A session is a defined period of activity by a visitor. The standard criteria
for a session in Google Analytics is activity without a break of more than 30 minutes OR closing the browser.
• New Visits: A visit to your site by a user with a unique IP address – had not visited the site previously in the selected time period. It is based on a cookie in your browser (not computer)
• Unique Visitors: Counts each visitor only once during the selected time period and is based on a cookie in your browser (not computer)
• One visitor can have many visits• Think of a visitor as the browser of a person who accepts a cookie
• Pageviews: Total views of all pages across the site• Bounce Rate: People who landed on one page & left without clicking anywhere else (we
like to see <50%) Tip to Lower Bounce Rate: Create more inbound links and calls to action to get people to click around to other pages within your site.
