Say I have 10 visits to a page, 4 of which are entries. 6 people exit,
including all 4 of the people who landed on that page. My bounce rate
would then be 100% , but my overall Exit is still only at 60% because
most of the visitors from other pages stayed on site. Hope I
understood your question - though I'm not sure this answer helped any!
> Here's my read on Bounce Rate and % Exit stats for a given page on my
