Right now I've got the net analysis program running on my computer and I'm looking thru one of my history files.
This shows hits. It's got a column named hits. It's a very thorough program.
Shows all kinds of stuff.
This is one line from the file I'm looking at. Remember: it's the Net Analysis Program.
Look at the hits line. 333 hits. Now. In web terms, when you hit a web page- everything on that page counts as one hit.
So if you hit a page, say it's got 10 images, the html file itself, and a video, this will count as 12 hits. 10 for the images, 1 for the html file and one for the video.
The record below is for my google adsense account. This was at a time when I was literally sitting on it - kept it open and refreshed the page obsessively. This program is picking up everytime I refreshed the page over a period of time, which looks like the Last Visited [UTC]: Last Visited [Local]:
This is where I believe the 84 number is coming from. She didn't visit it 84 times, but the program is picking up the hits on the page - she could have been sitting there and refreshed it several times.
Am I making sense?
The hits column is somewhat deceiving. Counters on a web page are deceiving because of this. A computer person - who may be excellent at their job, may not have a clear understanding of how hits on a page works.
I've worked in web hosting for years and this is one of the first things we were taught.
Gonna see if I can check out the cacheback program.
