Internet Traffic Information - Hits, Page Views, Visits, UU- A Quick Tutorial

Do you understand your tracking reports?
Do you want hits?
Do you want visitors?
Once you get the visitors, do they stay on your site or just generate one page view and leave? Does your tracking reports accurately show you that information?

When you visited this page, you generated 1 site visit to this page, you show up as 1 Unique Visitor (UU) in my Traffic Log File.
You generated 1 Page View in my traffic log file.
You generated 113 hits on my server.

If you come back to this page at a later date, you will probably show up as a repeat visitor, unless you are using a dyamic IP address like those used by the dial service America Online, then I will probably incorrectly assume you to be a Unique Visitor. I could use special software and drop a cookie on your site and then I would be able to tell if you had been here before. This particular page on my website does not use cookies. Depending on how you have your browser set-up, you may or may not generate the additional 112 hits, if all of these images are in your temporary Internet Folder when you come back, these 112 images below may not need to be reloaded from my server, thus I will not see the additional hits logged to my traffic log.

Now the next time, your webmaster says you are really getting the hits, ask him how many visitors you are getting.
