Set MAX Events?

    Hi Again,

    Loving this plugin! Giving me everything I wanted!

    I’m wondering if there is a small tweak to the code that would be possible to limit the MAX number of events (a timeout of sorts) that one visitor can trigger? I’ve been tracking everything and noticed that one visitor triggered almost 500 events (time) because he stayed on the page for 81 minutes!

    I have a video that runs about 12 minutes. So clearly he went away from his computer for quite a while, or just left the page open while doing something else.

    Thanks,
    Rob Aaron

    Sorry for the late reply, I have been sick.

    You can easily limit the time to let’s say 15 minutes per page. Compare the code below with the tracking part of the plugin code.

    <!--Begin Real Time on Site and Bounce Rate -->
<script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
(function (tos) {
window.total_time = 0;
window.setInterval(function () {
total_time += 10;
tos = (function (t) {
return t[0] == 50 ? (parseInt(t[1]) + 1) + ':00' : (t[1] || '0') + ':' + (parseInt(t[0]) + 10);
})(tos.split(':').reverse());
if (window.total_time <= 900) {
window.pageTracker ? pageTracker._trackEvent('Time', 'Log', tos) : _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Time', 'Log', tos]);
}
}, 10000);
})('00');
</script>

    Ok. Cool! Thanks for whipping out that code for me…

    Another question, if you don’t mind???!!!

    I am noticing that I am getting a lot more clicks on my site than actual events being registered on the first time event of .10 seconds(at least according to my adwords campaign). For example, I had 23 clicks on my adwords ad yesterday, but only 2 events showed up at .10 seconds (they did both stay on to watch most of my video >11:00 minutes). Does that imply that the other 21 visitors left the site before .10 seconds? Is that why my bounce rate went up to 85% for the day? It had been bouncing around 50%.

    Thanks,
    rob

    Can’t tell the exact reason, but there are online some articles about it like this one. It may help.
