Understanding Terms Used:
Bandwidth - Bandwidth represents the total number of
kilobytes that were sent to people visiting your site.
Bandwidth includes all resources requested by the users.
Hits - A hit represents a request to your web site for a
file such as an image, a web page, or a CGI script. One
web page may contain several related resources, and as a
result, a visitor viewing one web page may trigger
several hits. Hits generated as a result of an error
(either a 400 or 500 level error) are not counted as
actual hits to your site, and are kept separate from
successful hits.
Page - The basic building blocks of any website. A
website generally contains a collection of different
pages that are accessible and viewable via a web
browser. By default, SmarterStats considers the
following extensions to be pages: .ASP, .ASPX, .CFC, .CFM,
.CFMX, .CFML, .CGI, .HTM, .HTML, .IDA, .IDC, .JHTM, .JHTML,
.JSP, .JWS, .MHT, .MHTML, .MV, .PHP, .PHP3, .PHTM, .PHTML,
.PL, .SHTM, .SHTML, .STM, .WML, .XDL, .XHTML, .XML.
Page Views - A page view is a successful request for a
file on your web site that is considered to be a page.
These usually mean files with extensions such as .txt,
.asp, .aspx, .php, etc. Views generated as a result of
an error (either a 400 or 500 level error) are not
counted as actual views for your site, and are kept
separate from successful views.
Phrase - A phrase shows the entire search string text
used by web users to get to your site.
Referrer Host - The Referrer Host represents the web
site from which visitors to your site came from. A value
of "No Referrer" represents a visitor typing your web
site directly into the browser, using a bookmark, or
following a link from an email client.
Search Engine - A search engine is a website whose
primary function is providing a search engine for
gathering and reporting information available on the
Internet or a portion of the Internet
Visits - Visits represent the total number of times
people have visited your web site. A visit is counted
whenever a web site user requests one or more files from
the web server. If the user becomes idle for more than a
certain amount of time (usually 20 minutes), a new visit
is generated when they come back.
