Now, this could be because of the quality of your website, its design, whether it's confusing, etc. And there could also be reasons why they leave immediately that have nothing to do with the quality of your website --- for example, they may have been looking for something else. So it's important to know what's going on with a website and why, so that you can evaluate properly what to do.

I would check in my Google analytic Dashboard when I have lets say 23 visitors but on checking in my host c panel I could be having over 1000 hits. Thank you for this great tutorial. Let me also use this opportunity to ask you about the bouncing rate. Its a concept which is still confusing me.
