In reply to: LeAnna-solodressses.com 's message, "That makes sense, and is sort of what thought. (more)" on 13:12:59 02/12/03 Wed

Looking at the 1 IP with 1,114 hits and 6 visits:

Say, its someone using AOL to get to your site. Anyone coming from AOL will have the same IP (as I understand, they "bundle" their addresses) but could have different "identities" so that could account for the 6 visits -- six people visiting from AOL. Or that person visits and leaves and comes back and leaves and comes back.

As for the "hits" -- each time someone accesses something on the site, it "hits" meaning, as they load the page each thing that loads -- the html, the pictures, the graphics -- they are all "hit". Also, if you have a banner or ad on someone elses site: if someone goes to that page and loads it, including your ad, your server is "hit" because the code on the other page goes to your server to retrieve the graphics.

Does this make sense at all?
