 * When I installed Google Analytics for WordPress a few months ago I immediately
   saw my bounce rate go from 70% down to less than 15%. Then yesterday I changed
   my WordPress theme. When I reactivated Google Analytics for WordPress, my bounce
   rate went back up. The average # of pageviews went down too. Any idea why this
   is?
