-- Website Analytics - Tracking and Logging
---- SetVar causing 99.37% bounce rate

Hi,

I've implemented the following in a site:

Whenever a user is logged in, and views a page, I call:
pageTracker._trackPageview();
pageTracker._setVar('Authenticated');

Whenever a user is not logged in and views a page, I call
pageTracker._trackPageview();
pageTracker._setVar('Anonymouse');

Then, I've created a separate analytics profile, where I've created the following custom filter:
Exclude Filter Field: User Defined
Filter Pattern: Anonymouse
Case sensitive: No

Result? much less traffic, 99.37% bounce rate, 8 seconds avg. time per visit. I KNOW that this data isn't true.

Could it be that calling _setvar in every page causes this? Any other ideas?
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
