I also see that only 5.63% of my visits were new visits.<br /><br />Now I go to my Visitor Recency page, where I see 56 visits categorized as "0 days ago." Clearly that's a lot more than 5.63% of my 71 visits. So I am pretty sure that the 0 days ago includes the visits from new people, like you said, but also the visits from anyone who visits your shop more than once in the same day.<br /><br />So let's say there's somebody who visited your shop once a week ago, and then they go to it 4 times today (I find this happens a lot when posting in the forums). This one unique visitor will show up 1 time under "7 days ago" and 3 times under "0 days ago."<br /><br />When I first read this I was amazed that you were getting so many new visitors into your shop, and then I looked at my data and saw a similar distribution to yours, which I knew couldn't be right. So this is the explanation I came up with. Thanks for prompting me to look at this interesting data. :)Bridgit Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297846633321108008noreply@blogger.com
