Hitwise New and Returning Visitors
About
Hitwise is pleased to announce the addition of New and Returning Visitors data to Clickstream reports. This new feature enables marketers to understand the percentage of new and repeat traffic to a website. Invaluable for analysing competitive website traffic, this breakthrough online usage data helps you determine the effectiveness of key traffic drivers and marketing strategies. For example, with New and Returning Visitors data you can:
- Analyse a competitor's audience in terms of new and repeat traffic.
- Gauge the effectiveness of online partners, search engines and other important traffic driving websites like social networking websites, in driving new and returning traffic to a website.
- Understand the strategy and effectiveness of competitive marketing programs. Is your competitor more focused on traffic driving campaigns or retaining existing visitors?
- Identify where New or Returning Visitors go after visiting a specific website for insights on how to stop churn.
What are 'New' and 'Returning' Visitors?
Hitwise defines a 'New Visitor' as one who has not visited a specific website within 30 days, and a 'Returning Visitor' as one who has visited a specific website within 30 days.
Upstream Traffic Example and Insights
