The Defination of 'Impressions' on Google Analytics

inter123 · 10-02-2010, 05:00 PM

Hi.

I am wondering what the defination of "Impressions" is on Google Webmasters tool? According to the help pages, it is:

"The number of times pages from your site were viewed in search results."

If my webpage is on page 2 of search results for a keyword and the user only views the first page, does it add to the impressions count? Or does it mean, the user has gone to page 2 of search results and with the possibility of user clicking to my site?

Thanks.

Jim.
