I would also look at what pages were accessed
I would expect a person on a search to look at:
(1) the thread with the information from the search (could be several pages) as their initial contact
(2) the EvC home page (to ascertain bias)
(3) an "about EvC" page
(4) the FAQ page
(5) the Rules page
(6) look at the All Topics page
(7) try the Search feature for the same topic that brought them here
ie - kind of bounce around the site.
I would expect a non-member lurking to
(1) access the ALL TOPICS page first and then
(2) pick topics of interest, returning to All Topics in between.
I would expect a member lurking to
(1) access their Topic Index page first OR
(2) access responses to their messages (ie from e-mail notification)
Anyone have opinions about how many page accesses should equate to someone lurking?
More than 10 would have to qualify, and less than 5 would be debatable, imh(sa)o.
