Visit number

[olivia_chung]

Hi

Can someone please clarify what 'Visit Number 1' actually means. The Help section states ' A visitor making a first visit to your site is counted in the Visit Number 1 line item'

Where does those visitors that only visited once in the time period come under?  I'm trying to find the best way of working out the percentage of new visitors for a specific time period.

Thanks

Olivia

Hi Olivia,

I guess I know what you mean.

Visit Number can't help you in your case, because it is counted every time a visitor visits the site and its value would never be changed. Visit Number = 1 means the first time the visitor came to your site(Lifecycle, not the time period you have chosen)

I think what you want is sth like this

You can set "Visits = 1" with a Visitor Container to get the result you want. Or you can first add an empty visit container(with no rule) and another with a "THEN" operator into a Visitor Container which is "exclude".

Hope this would help.
