Does anyone know how Google Analytics tracks how long a user has been on the site? When the user leaves the page that has analytic tracking code, won't the sending/receiving link be broken? How are they able to retrieve the last bits of information before the user leaves the page?

: Go to https://www.google.com/a and click Begin Free Trial to set up Google Apps for your domain. You will then need to set various DNS records with your registrar to redirect mail and domain

: Is there a way to create a website without learning to web-program? I can create an XML document without knowing XML. I use a word processor. Is there a way to do that for websites?

: Percentages are probably the best way. I use the Foundation template which essentially allows nested grids. That is to say, a top level grid would be the maximum width and if you nest one

Here's an answer to that question from the Google forums

The way that Google Analytics calculates average time on site is by
subtracting the timestamps between the first and the last pageview of
a visit. ... There is no way for Google Analytics to know exactly
when a visitor left the site since no information is sent back to GA
when the visitor closes their browser or navigates to a different
site.

So I read that to mean that they measure the time from the first page view to the last page view, because they can't tell how long that page was viewed for.
