Well, you could say "visitors" but honestly I think it's better to stick to one name for users, namely "users", else a reader will certainly get somewhat confused:

"My God, he was talking about 'users' before, and now I read 'visitors'. Is there a difference? Certainly the words are different and can mean different things, but is there a real difference?"

"Users", consistently, gets my vote. Yes, you might be uncomfortable with its repeated use, but in this case clarity trumps stylistic nicety.
