However, it should be counted as the same session<\/li>\n<li>Because of the reason above, the bounce rate will increase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since a new session is generated, Google analytics will perceive the last session (<em>which ended when the user navigated to a non-AMP page from an AMP page<\/em>) with only one \/a few page views.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When an AMP person navigates from an AMP page to a non-AMP page in a single session, \u00a0Pageviews per session will decrease<\/li>\n<li>Organic visitors\u00a0who first lands on an AMP and then navigates to another page will be recorded as new visitors. The source of their visit to these pages will be counted under referral traffic instead of organic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Christian has suggested a solution to these issues however it is not a perfect one nor applicable for all the use cases.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that Google will soon come up with a solution to these issues however it doesn\u2019t look to be coming quickly, based on Malte\u2019s tweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The concept of Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) was introduced for increasing the user experience while browsing the websites on mobile devices.
