Hello Gigazelle,

Thanks for your reply.

What I want to exclude is the reload/bounce on the entry page/landing page only.

Which means, in a visit, if user refresh page or exit once enter website, then will be excluded, but if user visited another page or clicked any other link, then refresh page, this is fine.

E.g.:

Exclude: Enter Page A > Exit

Exclude: Enter Page A > refresh > Exit

Not Exclude: Enter Page A > refresh > Page B > Exit

Not Exclude: Enter Page A > Page B > Refresh > Exit

Not Exclude: Enter Page A > Click a button > Exit

So your suggestion works well in most situation, but since there are some buttons and links are not to "page" on our enter page, I'll add one more based on your and urs.boller's suggestion:

Do you consider this makes sense?

Thanks.

This should do the trick nicely:

If you want to exclude entire visits where a reload happened, you can swap the container from 'hit' to 'visit'.

Hello urs.boller,

Thanks for your reply. But it seems to me your suggested definition means: the visit hit depth = 1 only.

As I checked this document, the 1st page view is hit depth=1

Hit Depth :

Hit Depth

The depth of the page in a Visit to which customers to your site browse. Let's say a customer views Page A, B and then C in a single visit. Pages A, B, and C have a hit depth of 1, 2, and 3, respectively. 

Following one segment will exclude all visits without click, without reload. So I think this will be better?

Thanks.

Hi H_L

Hit Depth = 1 means first hit of a visit. so the segments checks if the user had a hit and the no bounce on the second page view (assuming your first hit is always a page view)

Heelo urs.boller,

May I know why "hit depth equals 1" ?

Please kindly clarify.

Thanks.

Hello Gigazelle,

This would very helpful, I forgot the "hit" level, however, I need to exclude all the bounce traffic as well.

So in fact, we want to exclude all "invalid" traffic after enter, for example:

Bounce, reload

Once user take any action after enter website, e.g.: click any icon/button/link, this will be the "valid" traffic.

Thanks for your reply.

Gigazelle​ your segment would exclude only some hits, not the whole visit

@H_L did you try a segment like this:

“visit“: { „hit depth equals 1“ THEN (within 1 page view) „reload does not exists“ }

this should show you all visits where the user had no reload after the first hit.

This should work, right?

The red container means exclude.

Dear H_L,

Include an "AND" condition with Entry Page equals A and Previous Page not equals A. If you have Previous Page, Reloads are not needed.

For Page Refresh, the Previous Page will be same and thus it will be excluded by the above segment.

Thank You
