Re: how can we alert on web visiting activity?

What version of Snort are you using?  I have had issues with content 
matching working correctly in the 2.8 branch (as have others at Emerging 
Threats), I was able to get content matching to work as expected by 
using the rawbytes option.  See section 3.5.3 in the Snort manual.

content:"ebay"; nocase; rawbytes;
