in How Is Bounce Rate Calculated in Google Analytics? on SEO & Internet Marketing Blog
Thanks for the information. I was wondering if the user clicks on an external link upon entry, then they will be considered a bounce.
How can you "ping" the server again for an external link without being penalized? I think linking to another page on the server (thus generating the client-side analytics code) and then forwarding them would not be a good idea. I'm sure Google's bots would look at that as shady.

It really depends on the method used in pinging GA upon a click towards an outbound link. I don't think it will be penalized by Google by pinging GA before forwarding users towards the outbound page. Many reputable blogs and sites use this trick too.

Microsoft has always had a problem with branding their products (windows/Vista). Their web presence was MSN, then switched to live.com http://news.cnet.com/2100-1038_3-6153879.html . Now live search may become Kumo (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/11/23/microsoft-...)
It's a pity because MSFT was working on some pretty slick features such as desktop/web photo syncing.
