Bounce-rate for a concret pagePath

[Inma]

Hi!

I'm developing a process to extract data from Analytics in Java. All
data received is correct except the Bounce Rate.

I need the Bounce Rate for each page, and I tried to calculated it
with the formula that is in documentation:

https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data?ids=ga:xxxxxxx&dimensions=ga:pagePath&metrics=ga:bounces&filters=ga:pagePath%3D~%5E%2Fcourse-eudora-light%2F;ga:pagePath!~%2Fopinions.*&start-date=2009-04-20&end-date=2009-04-20

The result would be the “bounces” for each page that satisfy the
filter, but the result that I receive is not agree with the real data
in Analytics website.

For example, I have a page with a certain url that has 5 Unique
Pagevies and 33.33% of Bounce Rate. The “ga:bounces” that I received
is “1”, that not matches with any of my data.

I want to know at what is this “1” (“ga:bounces”), and also, and more
important, how can I calculate the Bounce rate for a concret url.

Thanks very much!! =)

When calculating Bounce rate you need to use the "Entrances" to that
page, and not the "Unique Pageviews" to that page. A Unique View is
counted even if that page was not the first page of their visit.

I read in API Analytics documentation that the calculation you
explained to me, returns the total number of bounces for the entire
site, not for pagePath.

Definitions in documentation:

- ga:bounces/ga:entrances: Bounce rate by browser or dimension other
than page.
- ga:bounces/ga:uniquePageviews,ga:pagePath: Bounce rate for a
particular page.

However I tested your recomendation, and the results aren't correct =(

Thanks anyway.

Ups, yes, I tried more carefully and I find that returns to me the
bounces and entrances correctly, and the only thing I had to do is
divided them.

Thank you very much =)
