A bounce occurs when a visitor looks at the page and then leaves the site, ie. doesn't go through to another internal page.
This would happen all the time if you had a 1 page website.
Another cause may be that you have very few calls to actions drawing users to other pages, or your page gives them all the info they need so they dont need to go to another ...

These tags will show up in Google Analytics so the manufacturer is probably using that for their analytics, rather than something that looks at referral logs. As for how reliable referer (sic) is see this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6023941/how-reliable-is-http-referer.

I try this and it works for me:
Insert the script code below at the end of your HTML code, just before the tag:
<script>
var _gaq=[['_setAccount','UA-XXXXXXXX-X'],['_trackPageview']];
(function(d,t){var g=d.createElement(t),s=d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];

You can add an event handler to all links that point to a specific domain.
For example if the domain you are linking to is example.com and jQuery 1.0+:
var linksToHost = $('a').filter(function(){
return this.host.match(/^example\.com$/);
})
linksToHost.bind('click', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
_gaq.push(['_link', this.href]);
})

For example for site1.com:
New profile named site1.com
In the new profile create a filter Include site1.com traffic only
Filter type set as Custom filter and Include
Filter field as Hostname
Filter pattern as ^site1\.com$

Since you are using Amazon, there is no reason for you to use your domain providers "invisible redirection". Instead you should:
Sign up for Amazon AWS Route 53 DNS Service
In route 53, create a "Hosted Zone" for your domain
Add an A records for both .yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com with the static IP address of your ec2 machine.
Go to your domain ...

detailed statistics about a website's traffic and traffic sources and

I wouldn't worry about that. Sometimes the Google Analytics Dashboard takes a while to update the status, while in fact the tracking is already working. To be sure, go to Real-Time-Tracking in your Google Analytics Dashboard and see if the traffic updates while surfing your website.
From the sourcecode of your site, the tracking snippet seems to be ...

Although Google likes force webmasters to use their tools, I don't think using Google Analytics takes into account for websites indexing or ranking. There are too many big websites that prefer to use other web analytics systems like Piwik or Yandex.Metrica.

To answer your question (sort of).
I would used AdWords conversion code. Paste each code from each account onto your conversion page one after the other (if it is page).
Not only will that work - but you won't have to import the goal to AdWords, and you'll see the conversion data far quicker in AdWords.

It could be there is link to your site on someones website. And they have version (maybe a development version), running on they're local machine. And they clicked it accidentally a couple times.
Another scenario could be that someone used curl or wget to to request resources from your server?
And finally, maybe just someone spoofing?
