          I am relatively new to Adwords, and I can't figure out why the Adwords section of Analytics is showing all my site visitors at 0% bounce rate.  Does that mean the account connection is not done right?  Obviously Google ads are not a 0% bounce rate.

          If I can't get that to work, does anyone know how Google ads appear in Traffic?  Is it Direct or Referral?

          I'm sure there's some simple answer I'm just not aware of, I would appreciate anyone's help.

          Thanks!

            Hey Crystal, a couple things come to mind in this scenario.

            The first is the obvious stuff like duplicate GA tags, which in my experience cause 100% bounce rates, not 0%, but still could be a possible issue.

            The second is that something on the page is firing that causes a "single-visit but non-bounce session". The article linked earlier by Linda is a good explanation of this, but essentially there are multiple interactions a user can have on their first page of the site that would count as a non-bounce visit. They are:

            • Pageviews (sent via _trackPageview)
            • Events (sent via _trackEvent)
            • Ecommerce Items (sent via _addItem)
            • Ecommerce Transactions (sent via _trackTrans)
            • Social (sent via _trackSocial)
            • User Defined _deprecated, though functional _(sent via _setVar)
            • (Cited from http://www.analytics-ninja.com/blog/2012/06/google-analytics-bounce-rate-demystified.html)

            So, if the developers installed a tag that fired an event when PPC visitors land on the site, for example, that would cause a 0% bounce rate from PPC visitors, even if that user left without viewing another page. Not sure if that's your problem for certain, but it was the first issue that popped into my head. I haven't heard of a remarketing script firing one of these hits but could be the reason.

              Do you think it is possible that a GA code and an agency's codes on the same page would be conflicting?  The agency is doing remarketing for us.  (still 0% bounce rates)

                Yes, actually.  I had my web dev check out the codes, and there might be an issue with a second tracking code we have on the site for an agency we are working with for remarketing.  I haven't really figured out what to do yet.

                    Yes, you will have to wait a bit to see if that changes anything. But in the meantime, take a look at the source code of one of the pages that is reporting a zero bounce rate and see if the Analytics code is on the page twice. (Here is an article on bounce rates that has additional information, if that is not the answer.)

                      Yes, I thought I had.  I went and re-did it.  I also added columns into my Adwords for analytics. It's still showing all my bounce rates as 0%.  I suppose I will wait 24 hours and see if populates differently...

                        Going back a step, have you linked your Adwords and Analytics accounts? Here's how.

                          Something must be wrong because my Channels doesn't even have Paid Search listed.  I will look into it more.

                            Is your Analytics code present twice on the page? That could do it. And in Google Analytics, the medium for Adwords would be "cpc" or if you look in channels, it is "paid search".

                              Hi everyone, We have been running Google Ads for a while now and last week all of our Google Ads were paused with reason Compromised Site. We reached out to Google and they identify this page as one of the affected page: https://manpower.com.vn/vi/dich-vu-san-dau-nguoi-and-tu-van-nhan-su-cap-cao? The malicious links they found are:
                              • googie-anaiytics[.]com
                              • vty68[.]net We have asked our Website vendor to scan and they found nothing. We would be greatly appreciated if you could help. I tried Google Search Console and even the tool Google Safe Browsing that Google itself suggested but both the tools showed that our website does not have any malicious links at all. And yet Google Ads support team keeps telling us our page contains these links. I am wondering if anyone in the community has experienced this before and how did you address this issue. Or could you guys please help to share any tools that you know can do a deep scan on this page and if possible our entire website to help us identify where the links are located? Please let me know if you need any additional information from us and I would be happy to provide it.

                              Will pausing my AdWords PPC campaigns impact my organic rankings?

                              Over 95% of my revenue comes from organic search; less than 5% comes from AdWords PPC (all other sources account for about 1-2%). My ROI on AdWords is roughly zero. It's negative if you include opportunity costs. My question is: if I pause all of my AdWords campaigns, is there ANY chance that my organic rankings (and organic click-through rates) will suffer? This is really two questions. First, could Google retaliate to my reduced ad spending by dropping my rankings? Second, will searchers think differently about my organic link if they don't also see the accompanying paid link on the SERP?

                              Does having redirects in a Adwords text ad destination URL hurt quality scores?

                              I recently noticed that one of my clients had several redirects in their Adwords text ad destination URLs.  I updated the destination URLS to land on the final location (thereby losing all the text ad history).  However I'm wondering if this could have any impact on the text ad quality scores (none of them were disapproved).

                              How Can I Target Certain Countries in Google AdWords without Excluding Other Countries?

                              So, here is the situation: Our company works with merchants worldwide (with the exception of those who live in excluded high-risk countries--mostly in Africa), but most of our Google AdWords leads come from Indian merchants. My CEO wants our campaigns to convert leads from other countries (i.e., the UK, Germany, US, Canada, Australia, etc.), but I have no idea how to do that without excluding India. However, my CEO does not want to exclude India from our AdWords campaigns as the leads are profitable. We simply want more diversity with out leads in terms of geographic location. I am sure there are resources on the Web about how to do this, but I am not an Adwords expert and am unsure of what phrases to search to find the answers. Direct advice or helpful links are much appreciated. Regards,
                              Meghan
