Interesting question. Going to look at it, but can’t promise anything at this point.

Where can I find bounce rate stats in Bing or Alexa?
For example: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/google.com
Above example is for Alexa and don’t know much about Bing.

I have been reading a bit online, but I don’t think I’m going to do much with Alexa. From what I understood is that Alexa data is based on people who have installed the Alexa toolbar and that is only 0.1% of the people online. This isn’t as accurate as Google Analytics.
I have read good things about Bing, but nothing about bounce rate.
It looks like I’m not going to look any further into implementing this in the plugin. But still an interesting question.
OK, never mind.
Thanks for your time
Please we need one suggestion from you with this plugin.
Yet Maximum Tracking Time by Default is 15 minutes. So if we set to 30 minutes will get any kind of problems?
In our website we have 1000 articles and each article have more then 300 words, so some visitors will read many articles and stay long time also.
And want to know more about this option: “I don’t want to set a Maximum Tracking Time.”
Thanks
In google analytics yesterday data was listed below:
Pages / Session 1.63
Avg. Session Duration 00:06:13
Bounce Rate 14.92%
Above data is for 1 day only (24 Hours)

The Avg. Session Duration is not so important for this. A session is the time people spend on your website, not just on one page. A session will automatically stop after 30 minutes of inactivity, at midnight or when a user arrives via one campaign, leaves, and then comes back via a different campaign.
The best thing is to look at the Average Time on Page. You can find it at Behaviour -> Overview. Or for individual pages at Behaviour -> All Pages. You can set the option Set row to 1500 and sort the column Avg. Time On Page from high to low. Then you can decide what Time on Page number you want to use. If many are above 15 minutes I would definitely set it to 30 minutes and see if many still reach the 30 minutes. If so, you could higher it again to 45 minutes. But I think 30 minutes is more than enough.
If you just want to let it go, you can use the option “I don’t want to set a Maximum Tracking Time.” I don’t recommend it, because in my experience you’ll get more accurate data but it’s not the data you are looking for. You’ll see that people stay two hours or longer on your page. Unless they are very slow readers, the chance is that they are not actively busy with your website. And are you looking for those numbers. You can of course filter them out in Analytics. I didn’t like the numbers when there was no maximum time, but if you’re willing to filter out high numbers in Analytics, you’ll have more accurate data.
I hope this helps.
