Re: hits,pages,etc
Ignore page hits... this doesn't really give you any useful information. One person visiting 2 or 3 pages can generate several if not hundreds of hits to your site as it has something to do with counting how many images and other files on your pages. You only really need to be interested in Unique visits and page views.
although i don't believe this for a second:
295, visits, 365, pages 35,000, hits 63,000
I believe the 295 bit... but can't see that 295 visitors have gone through 35,000 pages?
Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
