You should be able to check whether a page is an entry page or not, by checking the value of document.referrer. If the referrer is empty or not part of a known domain, then it's likely to be an entry page. If you have the Unified Traffic Sources VISTA rule, you'll have all referrers in your campaign reports too. Are you trying to find bounce rate by page for a particular segment, such as referrers or from a keyword search? Let me know and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction. Tim Hey Mike,

We implemented it last night but how would you suggest we track bounces at that per page level? Can we detect on site whether a page is an entry page or not and then only pass the page name into it if it's an entry page? Otherwise if I try calculate bounce rate it's not playing nice. Regards, Mike Hey Tim,
