Which is more natural?
1) Occasionally I enter the site “Odnoklassniki” to catch up on the day’s events with my friends.
2) Occasionally I visit the site “Odnoklassniki” to catch up on the day’s events with my friends.

I would say "visit", but "enter" is not wrong.

I would use visit unless it's one of those sites that has flash on the homepage or something similar and you have to click a button to see the content, when I would use enter.

I would use "visit" in either case.

Sorry- I was a bit unclear. I would use enter for the act of clicking on the button to get in, but if talking about the site in general, I would use visit.
