dmath Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 In reviewing AwStats on my site, it differentiates between visitors and hits. (hits is much higher obviously.) What is the difference between visitors to your site and hits? What defines visitors, what defines hits? Thanks Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Hi and welcome to the forum This is how awstats (http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_glossary.html)explains it themself: VisitsNumber of visits made by all visitors. Think "session" here, say a unique IP accesses a page, and then requests three others without an hour between any of the requests, all of the "pages" are included in the visit, therefore you should expect multiple pages per visit and multiple visits per unique visitor (assuming that some of the unique IPs are logged with more than an hour between requests) HitsAny files requested from the server (including files that are "Pages") except those that match the SkipFiles config parameter.
