7. More Complicated Questions Where do my most valuable visitors come from (referral source and geography)? Which of the most valuable visitors are most likely to make a purchase, and which of those visitors are most likely to make the highest value purchases? Which are my most valuable content pages; that is, not just popular pages, but pages that also contribute to the conversion process? How do existing customers (or subscribers, downloaders, or social media fol­lowers) use the site compared to new visitors? Am I wasting money on campaigns that bounce; that is, attracting visitors that only view a single page and then leave? Is my site engaging with visitors; that is, does anything on the site help build a relationship with an otherwise anonymous visitor? Is my internal site search helping or hindering conversions; that is, can visitors find what they are looking for once on my site? How many visits and how much time does it take for a visitor to become a customer (which affects promotion campaigns, email follow-ups, and affiliate relationships)?
