Google Analytics issue...thoughts?

So I am working on a clients website and analyzing why 1 page in particular has a very high Bounce Rate compared to the rest of the site. What I noticed is this:

One URL in particular drives 1/4 of the traffic to that page, say XYZ.com. BUT analytics shows 0 time spent on that page and 100% Bounce Rate. So I went to XYZ.com to check the path and make sure the site has the correct URLs so that people are landing where they expect to land.

I realized that when I enter XYZ.com, I am actually redirected to 123.com. In analytics, 123.com also shows up and has a good amount of time spent and low BR.

So it seems that Analytics is giving no credit to the user who started on XYZ.com and visited my clients page.

I dont think this is a temporary glitch as the BR for this page has remained high since Ive been working on the site (about 1 month).

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
GabeW

    Very odd but to be honest with the GA some of my websites have been getting strange results back, which I know for a fact are wrong because they have traffic, have you checked the onpage SEO stats perhaps you could download the onpage SEO Doctor, it will give you the stats based on how much the pages are optimized and which are not.
