Using Visitor Stats 2, I can 'mark' a visitor to my website who has fulfilled a certain task... they might have bought something from my website, or they might be my competitor (or friend!).

The next time this visitor comes back I can easily spot them among my other visitors.

Here I can see myself, 'Yari on Firefox' as I visit my website for the 60th time.

By either manually setting a visitors name (as I have done above), or automatically re-naming a visitor when they visit a certain page, I can see my customers, friends and competitors at a glance when they visit me.

I might use Marking to identify my customers:

Or visitors who have emailed me via the form on my contact page:

Or a friend of mine:

Some other ideas would be my competitors, affiliate members... the list goes on, and it's completely up to you.

Simply click on the visitors name, which usually reads something like 'Win Visitor 189' etc.

At the bottom of each visitor profile there is also a button, , which you can click to re-name a visitor.

Just place one line of code above the Visitor Stats 2 include line.

The second line Marks the visitor as 'Customer':

// Visitor Stats 2 $real_visitor_name="Customer"; include("visitor_stats/visitor_stats.php");

You can use any name you like, 'customer', 'contacted me', 'this person viewed my gallery' etc.

It's up to you, and you can change it anytime.

NOTE: Once a visitor is marked, they won't be re-marked by an automatic mark... only by a manual one. This is so you can recognise a visitor, rather than them changing names every time they buy from you, contact you or view your gallery etc.
