Problem with Time spent per visit vs time spent on site

This just started about two days ago where the actual time spent per visit was not anywhere even close to indicated time spent on site. For instance, at this moment I'm showing a grand total of 10 visitors to my blog (so I'm having a bad SEO day), 9 of those stayed for less than a minute and one stayed for 3 minutes. FeedBurner shows the same 10 visits with an average of .24 secs avg per visit (which is pretty accurate) while Pmetrics shows a total time spent on site of 58 minutes with an average of 6 minutes spent per visit which isn't the case at all.

Like I said, these bogus time averages and totals shown on the new Dashboard just began happening approx. two days ago.

Just for your info.


(Chuckle). Now it's just the opposite

As an update to the above my previous post (above) I seem to have just the opposite occurring. With actual total time spent for the six visitors I've had running about 16-20 minutes, the "Total Time Spent" shows less than a minute when it should show around 16-20 minutes. Average Time Spent shows less than a minute when it should show around 5-6 minutes.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not complaining here just letting you folks know about my favorite stats engine and how it's working. Looks like the last accurate time stats was August 9th.

Or am I missing something? ;D
