    ALL WEBSITE VISITORS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL   by Steve Hartung

    The first abstraction of absolute online behavior appear earlier

    this anniversary by McKinsey and Media Metrix shows that alone half

    of online consumers are alive users, logging on at least

    once a month. Furthermore, apartof those alive users, six

    distinct segments accept emerged: Simplifiers, Surfers,

    Connectors, Bargainers, Routiners and Sportsters.

    McKinsey s John Forsyth said that marketers who try to reach

    all six at once, or access them as if they were all alike,

    "do so at their peril," appropriately the appellation of the address - "All

    Website Visitors Are Not Created Equal."

    ************************************************************

    Here are some data the address provides --

    Simplifiers use the Internet to create their lives easier, and

    tend to log on with a specific purpose in apperception and they want

    to do it bound and easily. Although Simplifiers absorb just

    7 hours per ages on the Web, they accept the longest tenure

     online (49% accept been online for over 5 years) and account

    for bisected of the absolute online transactions.

    Surfers aggregate just 8% of the alive user population,

    but they annual for 32% of online time -- far added than any

    other articulation in the study. They admission over four times as

    many pages as the boilerplate user, and move bound apartof the

    domains, always gluttonous new experiences.

    Connectors are about novices, gluttonous causes to use the

    Internet. Although Connectors annual for 36% of the active

    user population, 40% of them accept been online beneath than two

    years, and just 42% accept create purchases online (versus an

    average of 61%). Connectors generally use the Internet to

    "connect" with humans through e-mail and babble rooms.

    However, they authority abundant abeyant to aggrandize their use and

    become associates of a altered segment.

    Bargainers are angrily adherent to one aspect of the

    Internet: the adventure for deals. Admitting they represent alone 8%

    of alive online users and absorb beneath time online than the

    average user, they represent 52% of eBay visitors.

    Routiners and Sportsters go online primarily for content.

    Only bisected of Routiners accept create purchases online , and just

    6% accept create 5 or added online purchases. They appointment fewer

    domains (typically account and banking sites), but spend

    almost alert as abundant time per page as boilerplate users.

    Routiners wish above agreeable and the faculty they are

    getting "something special." Sportsters (just 4% of active

    online users) act abundant like Routiners, but focus on sports

    and ball sites. They absorb just 7.1 hours online

    each ages (versus a 9.8 average), and are fatigued to fresh,

    colorful and alternate sites. End of report.

    Thank you jayde. I anticipate your readers who are marketers, will accretion some

    added

    knowledge of who is visiting their websites.

    Personally, I abdicate the website affairs bold some time ago. To abundant of a

    good affair gone

    sour. I accomplished that the behemothic of all giants of internet business is

    email. The newest email

    services now pay their audience to forward and accept approved circadian email.
