I know you can get penalized for having a high bounce rate, but can’t Google only know this if you use Analytics?
So are the sites that use some other visitor stats program immune from this possible penalty?
Nope. They track when people click "back" on their browsers to return to Google.
Google analytics data does not factor in
To bounce rate? O RLY?
So do they compute it based on elapsed time between leaving the search results page and coming back to the search results page?
What if the new site is opened in a new tab?

He works for Analytics.
What others mentioned is true.
Bounce rate, imo, should only be a huge issue if your site is a lot of content(tube site, blog with actual information, humor site, etc… aka… not a landing page for an offer) and is geared more towards the user rather than your wallet.
But if your site is geared more towards the user rather than your wallet anyway and as long as everything else isn’t a colossal fuck up, you’ll be good to go for all in tents and purposes.
In most cases for sites with high quality content, it’s the source of traffic; not the site.
