How can I configure this module so that anonymous users are redirected to the front_page, from any direct link on the site, on their first visit?

Preferable possible to configure so it shall happen every browsers session or not if they are a returning visitor.

You may redirect the other roles to another destination of your Drupal Site, and redirect the anonymous to "node"...original frontpage.

BTW, don't forget to activate these setting by put "front_page" in the "Default front page" fileld of the "Activate your front_page settings" section.

Hope this helps. : )

This probably isn't a good idea. When users navigate to your site, they most likely chose it because their search told them that page had what they were looking for. If you then stop them from seeing that page, directing them to a different page, they'll probably just go away again. If that happens twice with the same user, they might even start talking about your site as one that's misleading and spammy.

It might be smarter to insert something into your theme (page.tpl.php) that displays a big "first time here? message" above the node content, for example, when someone visits your site from google or other for the first time.

I'm looking for this also.

Based on IP adres you can check how many time he/she visits your website.
If more then 3 times (for example), then he/she may skip the frontpage.

How can I create this?
