14. A BIT OF CONFUSION TERMINOLOGY!
Instances Vs Visits
The Instances metric is used to report on the number of times that a particular value is triggered in SiteCatalyst.
Visits refers to the number of user sessions, consisting of one or multiple page views and ending with 30 minutes of inactivity by t he
user, that encountered a specific value (i.e., line item) shown in your reports.
Example:
Internal Search Report - 50 Instances , 30 Visits
Searched “Web Analytics”
50 Instances means 50 times searched or Page reloaded
30 Visits means 30 different user sessions
Searches Vs Visits
Officially, from Omniture’s word: “The number of times a value was set for this data dimension within the reporting period.”
Or, in a more detailled way: “The recommended default metric for search engines and keywords. This metric represents instances of a
click-through, and shows the page that is associated with a specific engine or keyword. Searches metric data can be reported retroactively
to the beginning of the data set.”
In summary:
It’s pretty much like instance. It’s a number of time an element has been triggered (aka a search result). A visit can have m ultiple searches
as Omniture doesn’t define user sessions the same way as Google does.
