Yes, it would. "Time on Site" measurements do nothing to detect whether the site has been opened in the background, or whether visitors are actively engaged. General practice seems to be to measure the extent of this bias by comparing the duration of the first pageview to the duration of subsequent pageviews during multi-page visits.
- est 16y agoShouldn't "time on site" implement a pause timer function if blur() ?
- chime 16y agoI'm not sure that blur is fired if you switch tabs.
- jiaaro 16y agoit is
- chime 16y agoIt is indeed. I tested it out by opening this in multiple tabs and switching back and forth: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <textarea id="sd1"></textarea><br /> <textarea id="sd2" rows="20"></textarea> <script> $("#sd1").focus(); $(function() { $("#sd1").blur(function() { $("#sd2").val($("#sd2").val() + "\nblur!"); }); $("#sd1").focus(function() { $("#sd2").val($("#sd2").val() + "\nfocus!"); }); }); </script> </body></html>
- goodside 16y agoIt should. I was referring to Google Analytics in particular, which was the source of this data, and GA's calculation doesn't use blur tracking as far as I can tell.
