As you know one of the indicators shows the time the visitor spends on each page.
I have never known what a zero second means. A visitor can spend one second on one page, but never less.
My view of this is that the visitor has clicked on the ad but has not waited for the page to fully unload.
That is a relevant to assessing your website loading speed.
What do you think of this?

Hi
I just checked my site, and the average time of one of my pages is 00:01:54. It's almost 2 minutes.
It should not be 0 second.
An indicator of your loading speed is the bounce rate. The rate at which visitors leave your first page they visit and not go further to another page of your site. It could be due to the loading time.
Cheers
Diep

Well, some time visitors not wait till the page fully loads and before that they close the page.

I have compared page impression with Adsense account and they are usually very accurate.

Google analytics is a reliable and accurate tool. I think it may due to user click and leave the page before loading.

I am not sure you are still looking for the answer.But this is the answer I found on Google groups.
| Quote: | Time on site is calculated as the time spent between the first pageview of a visit and the last pageview of a visit. If your visitors are only visiting one page on your site, then there is no second pageview for that visit for GA to calculate an average time on site. In those cases, GA assigns a time on site of 0 seconds because there is no way to calculate how long a visitor spent on that page.
If you have only one page of your site tagged, or your site consists of only one page, it is likely that most of your visits will only have one pageview during their visit and have an avg. time on site of 0 seconds. |
Hope it helps
Cheers! |

I think that one of the most interesting things in google analytics is that you can look up what keywords were searched by your visitors. This way, you can add specific content on what your visitors are actually looking for.

AffMan nailed it. If people don't go to a second page, Analytics won't know how long they were there.
If you look in the Visitors tab under Visitor Loyalty you will see "Length of Visit". You might notice a large portion of people stay only between 0-10 seconds. This number is usually very close to your bounce rate, which tells you how many people left from the page they landed on and never saw a second page.
Think about this though, for every visitor that doesn't navigate to another page in your site your average time on site will go down somewhat. Everyone experiences this to some degree, but if you can work to get your bounce rate down around 30-40 it will help boost that stat.
