NONE: What is a "hit"?
What is a "hit"?

In my opinon, "hits" is a meaningless measure for most web sites if every
file request is counted separately as a hit. My site statistics show the
number of
"visitors" (by IP address) for the past 7 days and for the current month to
date; it also
shows the number of raw "hits." (See
http://www.ca-probate.com/stats/stats.html). For
advertising purposes, I think the proper measure is the number of times
the advertising
material is loaded: if it is a banner ad, then this would be the number of
times the graphic is loaded. If it is a text ad, the number of times the
web page is
loaded. But it is the contract between advertiser and host that will
determine how
things are measured and counted. Sometimes an advertiser demands a
statistic that the
host cannot furnish, and perhaps that will be a deal-breaker.
