| Find Your Competitors' New and Returning Visitors |
By using Hitwise Clickstream New and Returning Visitors reports, you can determine the proportion of new versus repeat visitors that search engines, your partners and affiliates are sending to you or your competitors. For example, if you are looking to increase your customer base and your competitor is Lulu.com, using "New and Returning Visitors," you will discover that 0.99% of visitors to Lulu came from MySpace for the week ending 07/18/09. Of those, 93.02% were 'New' visitors. This may sound like a small percentage, but given the volume of visitors to the Lulu and MySpace websites, it's probably a large number of online consumers. Using this information, you can determine that MySpace could be a great website to partner with in order to redirect some of that traffic to your website instead of Lulu. This insight is invaluable for gaining a competitive edge over your direct competitors.

Using Hitwise Lifestyle, which incorporates MOSAIC® USA, a leading household segmentation system, you can identify the most popular sites in an industry that attract a specific segment.

The Young Cosmopolitan segment consists of households where many adults are under 35 years old, single, college educated and earning upper-middle-class incomes as white-collar professionals, managers and executives. As consumers, they prefer to shop at high-end stores like Bloomingdale's, J. Crew and Victoria's Secret. They're also large purchasers of anything technology-related, including iPods, BlackBerry devices and Xbox consoles. Finally, they spend any free time they have online, going to travel and news sites and checking out social networking forums in search of a date or a mate.

| Amazon acquires Zappos.com |
July 22, 2009 - Heather Dougherty
Amazon announced a deal to acquire apparel and footwear retailer Zappos.com. The popular online retailer ranked 3rd last week among online retailers within the Apparel and Accessories category behind Victoria's Secret and Old Navy. Both Amazon and Zappos.com are well-known for the breadth of product offerings, so it is not surprising that they share much of their audiences. For example, last week, Zappos.com was the top visited Apparel & Accessories website following a visit to Amazon and of those visitors, 79% had visited Amazon within the past 30 days.
