Hits — the number of requests for files. A "hit" is any request on the web server for any file, such as a web page, jpeg, gif, bitmap, CGI, or header request. For example, if a visitor wants to see a web page containing two images, they must make three hits: one hit for the page, and two for the image files. Hits do not provide an accurate estimate of page views, visits or visitors. One visitor may request many pages, all of which may result in any number of hits.
Page Views — the number of successful requests for pages. A page is any file - such as a web page, dynamic web page, or form.
Visits — the number of visitor sessions to the site. A visit refers to a series of requests from a uniquely identified client. A visit starts with the first request from the client and remains active as long as the period between subsequent requests from the client does not exceed a set "time-out" period.
The recorded statistics for the month of November, 2005 are:
• Hits: 5.3 million
• Page Views: 1.1 million
• Visits: 41,000
