ComScore Announces New “Visits” Metric For Measuring User Engagement

Posted by Marshall on March 15, 2007 | Link It

I guess ComScore is starting to look more like a Web Analytics package, at least when it comes to "Visits".

"…While each of the “visits” metrics offers a different measure of frequency, the “average visits per visitor” is the most illustrative of return visits per unique individual during the course of a month.  Used in concert with the “unique visitors” metric, this measure can help give a more comprehensive view of a site’s performance. "

Interesting to compare the change in rankings when the metric is changed.
