Hits, Page Views, Uniques - What Do All These Stats Mean?

Hits
Hits (sometimes referred to as "requests") is how many files are actually requested from your web server. This includes images, javascript files, html files, movie or audio files, just about anything you put onto a webpage that is kept in a separate file from the html file.

Page Views
Page views refers to the actual number of times each page on your site is viewed, by all users. If the same user visits the same page three times, this is usually considered three page views, although this can vary with your stats program.

Unique Visitors
Uniques visitors (often referred to as "uniques") is the number of individual users who visit your site in a 24 hour period. Whether the person visits one page or one hundred pages, this is still considered one unique visitor. This is tracked by individual IP address, although it can cause confusion when someone using AOL for their internet connection surfs your site. Someone on AOL can view twenty pages using twenty different IP addresses. Some of the higher end stats program will take this into account, while others do not.

And this means...
Now what does this all mean? If one person surfs your site and views twenty pages before leaving, the stats on this person would be:

200 hits, 20 page views, 1 unique visitor (estimating each html page has 10 files it calls).

Don't be fooled...
It also tells you to not be fooled if someone is bragging about having 200,000 hits per month - that equals a significantly smaller number of page views per month. If purchasing advertising, always request page views per month, don't rely on hits - particularly when some pages could have 30 or 40 advertising images on a page.
