As I (briefly) mentioned, if we crank out enough <b>quality</b> content, we will have the best chance of earning return visitors. As for the software's ability to track return visitors, it can be no more accurate than any other package, due to limitations such as you mentioned. It is possible that the reinvigorate script places a user cookie to track returns, but I am not sure of this, nor have I investigated the situation. However, there aren't many options for tracking return visitors; checking the IP, a cookie, or having them log in to the site are about the limit of any sort of tracking. Agreed.

I think if it can't resolve a specific IP, than it just counts it as a new visitor, but most internet services dynamically assign IPs each time you connect....so, that equals return visitors counted as new visitors.
