Hi Eunice,

You can use Google Analytics or StatCounter to do this. Basically you look at the keywords and on-site activity.

A buying visitor will usually visit one page and bounce out quickly to an offer or hit the back button if you don’t make the sale quickly.

Informational visitors will usually arrive on a post page rather than the home page. They will usually stick around a bit longer and may visit multiple pages if your content is good. If your ads are attractive to them they may click an ad.

Navigational visitors will usually arrive on your home page and move about the site looking for new content or retracing their steps to view new comments etc. They will rarely click ads.

Hi Frank,

Excellent post, you make some very good points. Just one thing I’m wondering (and maybe you have a link you can point me to on this): how can you tell what kind of visitor/browser you have?

Frank,
I still don’t find the way to get email notification when someone comments here. Hope this plugin helps.

Great post and right on the money. Understand who your visitors are and why they are visiting your site will help you tremendously in monetizing it more effectively.
