Times Visited

The Times Visited action displays messages that are customized according to the number of times a viewer visits the Web page. (This action uses cookies. If a viewer's browser is set to disable cookies, the action will not function.)

Trigger the action with a browser-triggered event set to OnLoad, a user-triggered event, or a timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Variables > Times Visited. Enter a message in the 1st Time Visitor Message text box. To display a different message when the viewer revisits the page, select the Show This Message + Total Visits option, and enter a message. (The number of times the viewer has visited the page will appear next to the message in the browser alert window.) To have an additional message appear after the viewer has visited the page a specified number of times, select the Optional Message option, enter a message, and enter the number of visits criterion. Enter a name for the cookie.

Important: Any apostrophes in the messages must be preceded by a backslash.

When you preview the action multiple times in a browser, you can simulate the browser's behavior when viewers visit the page for the first time by renaming the cookie before previewing the page.
