Hi Friends,

What is the difference between click and visits in Google Analytics?

seo.svlapp · 03-31-2017, 05:02 AM

A “Click” is a click on your ad. A “Visit” is recorded when the Google Analytics Tracking Code.

Hello all,

n Google Analytics, there is a three level hierarchy of data.

Users ---> Session --> Interactions

Users are the unique users (Based on cookie information), Hits are when they initiate a session (i.e., go on to a website). Interaction is all the clicks/ scrolls, video play/pause/stop, downloads etc, that a user does in a session.

So, User initiates a session, where he interacts with the Website.

Visit in Google Analytics can be understood as the start of a session. i.e, the 1st pageview of every session is a Visit (which is equal to number of sessions, this is the reason visits are replaced by Sessions in Google analytics). Visit is a Session level metric.

Click is the click of the mouse on the website, which is an interaction metric. So, a button can be clicked, link can be clicked, video can be clicked etc.

Hope this clarifies your doubt. Thanks for A2A

Clicks:

--It indicates the number of times user clicks on your ad.
--Google Adwords tracks clicks.
--Adwords filters out invalid clicks generated within the same session.
--An ad can be clicked several times by the same visitor which results in several clicks to be recorded.

Visits:

---It indicates the number of unique sessions associated with each of the visitor.
---Analytics displays all data without any filtering.
---Google Analytics tracks visits.
--- A visit made by a unique visitor is recorded only once in a single session.

The Clicks column in your reports indicates how many times your advertisements were clicked by users, while Sessions indicates the number of unique sessions initiated by your users.

In Google Analytics click means when user click on your ads and visit means when user just show your ads on search engine.

marktyler · 04-02-2017, 10:38 PM

Clicks indicates that how many number of times users can clicked the ads.
Visits means no of sessions by users can visit the website in a particular time.

shakthipriya · 04-02-2017, 11:35 PM

There is an important distinction between clicks (such as in your AdWords reports) and sessions (such as in your Audience reports). When one person clicks on one advertisement multiple times in the same session, AdWords records multiple clicks while Analytics recognizes the separate pageviews as one session.

Clicks refer to the person who clicks the ad multiple times, whereas separate page views is considered as one visit.
