Why HitsLink?

Activity by Entry Page

This report shows a transaction summary by entry page.  The entry page is the first page a user accesses on your site.  This report is useful in determining whether or not certain pages are effective in converting visitors to buyers.

Terms Used on Report:


Visitors


Also referred to as a 'Unique Visitor'.  By default, this value represents a visitor that comes to your site for the first time in a day.  All subsequest visits during the day by the visitor are not considered unique.

The definition of a visitor can be customized.  You can set a custom period of inactivity that will cause the next access of the visitor to be considered a new visit.  The visit definition screen can be found on the 'Setup' menu.

This differs from a page view or hit in that a single visitor can have one visit per day but many page views during a visit.

Transactions


A completed transaction by a user.  Transactions are recorded when a special tracking script is executed on your confirmation page(s).  This tracking script can be found on the Account / Get Tracking Script menu item.

Conversion Rate


The percentage of transactions generated per click-through.
