What is Session in google analytics?

Google Analytics is the free successor to the previously commercial Urchin Analytics software. Google Analytics is constantly being updated and improved, and is a must-have resource for your search marketing campaign. It will show you valuable data about your visitors that you can use in combination with your Google Sitemap and other Google services. One of the advantages of Google Analytics is that it will allow you to view how many visitors your site is getting based on a specified time.
 
A session is defined as a group of interactions one user takes within a given time frame on your website. Google Analytics defaults that time frame to 30 minutes. Meaning whatever a user does on your website (e.g. browses pages, downloads resources, purchases products) before they leave equals one session.
