Sure they can apply it to your site, but part of what we do to determine if something is being applied is use logic and reason to determine if it will be or is being applied, and for the reasons tedster stated and the reasons I've stated the best answer I can come up with is NO.

What you seem to be ignoring is just because someone 'clicked' on two pages doesn't mean they like the site. It could be because they couldn't find the answer on the page they were initially viewing and saw a link to a page they thought might contain the answer, which I have done personally and could be one of the reasons why tedster stated it's a fuzzy number to use... Besides, all you have to do is include an iFrame with analytics on it and it looks like the visitor opened two pages and your bounce rate has now decreased... How about pop-ups on the way in and out or re-opening the window viewed as a pop-under when the visitor leaves to change the visit count and viewed time? I think tedster said something about this stat being easy to game, but you don't seem to be 'getting it' for some reason... Access to raw logs doesn't help too much in some of these situations since it looks like the browser requested the page, because it did, even if the person using the browser didn't...
