Thread: IP is the forest

Q1 . . . With Awstats, what is the difference between a HIT and a VISIT

Q2 . . . Awstats shows a list of hits from IP 195.93.102.1-40 and when I trace it back, the location is miles from anywhere, in the middle of a forest in central France - no roads, no buildings - just trees !

Any ideas ? Maybe a wild boar with a mobile ?

Might be the Pixies wanting to avail themselves of your services.........lol

When one visitor comes to your web page, that's a 'visit'

But if that page has 10 images on it, then it may count that one visit as 11 hits, 1 for the html file and 10 for the images. If that 1 visitor then looks at 20 pages of your website, this will generate hundreds of 'hits'

200 visitors could easily generate 2, 3, 6000+ hits

So ignore hits and just concentrate on visits.

Thanks Marinky

You're Welcome
