Examples

Number of visits (for example, less than 10, between 10 and 20) Visitor coming to your site for the 20th time would welcome a different experience from a newer user. You might replace instructional messaging with more advanced content, since they already know their way around your Web site.

New or Returning Visitor Replace introductory content with something more appropriate for an informed user.

Total amount purchased On a travel site, a visitor's lifetime travel history can predict future travel behavior. We can target content based on packages availed and amount spent.

Highest amount spent in a single order On a travel site, the amount spent by a user in a single trip can predict future behavior. Online marketers might want to test a hypothesis that “big” travelers will buy higher packaged deals if they're highlighted on the landing page.

Time of day/Day of week Travelers have seasonal swings, Does a visitor behave differently based on the day or time or month? For example, is behavior different during weekday versus weekend?

Recently viewed products or categories Labeling a user based on search history and category selection
