Entry Pages and Exit Pages

[FrankV]

I've pounded this around in my head for a while. I hope it doesn't sound too dumb.

If I understand right, these are the pages that a visitor enters the site on and exits the site from? If so, then they are for comparison? Assuming that I am correct, shouldn't these two features be shown together? Something like:

visitor.to-your-site.com/<their ip address> - Entered: yoursite.com/index.html - Exited: yoursite.com/sales.html

It's just an idea to be able to tell at a glance where a visitor enters the site, what they are interested in, where they go on the site and where they finally leave the site.

They are - for the stats by visitor like visitor paths. Rather you have the first one and the last one and all the others in between.

How many ways to do you want to skin a cat?

Obviously I've missed something.

If this is true, and I have yet to see it, then why duplicate them. Remove the duplicate stuff and use the space for unique stats or something.

Sorry, but many of the stats are confusing to me.

Please explain this to me. Am I to assume that this visitor entered my site from the search engine listing aand the landing page was collincountystation.com/. The visitor then surfed to collincountystation.com/tourism.html. After that the visitor left my site from the above page and went back to the search engine and searched again, landing back on my site at collincountystation.com/?

Yep. He's just going back and forth between Google listings and the pages he's clikcing on. Click a link, then use back button to Google listing, click another link, and back again and click another link he's clicked before. he migth have wanted to see again a page he's seen before. Whatever.

Ok. So what a\is the point of the "Came from, Entry Pages, and Exit Pages"? All that information is in the "Visitor Paths" already. <shrug> I dunno. Forget I suggested it. <sigh>
