indication of the number of visitors you may be getting.

This is true, but on the other hand, a big provider like AOL or
Earthlink will cache web pages and images in a proxy, so one hit
from AOL might potentially serve thousands. The number of hits
is a very rough indication of traffic; running the logs through
an analysis package like Analog or Webalyzer or even grepping the
logs for unique host requests for the index page gives a more
accurate indication of traffic.

That said, congrats to Art for 50,000 hits

I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that the website would ever be that
popular. But as time goes in it seems as though the number of hits per day is
slowly increasing. Now you tell me that it may be well more than 50,000 hits.
My minds boggles, Stay tuned. More stuff to come. And thanks for the kind
words. I really appreciate it. Did I ever tell about the time the 344th
attacked....oh well that is another story for another time. (grin)

A "hit" counts every page and graphic request and is not a true
indication of the number of visitors you may be getting.
I said that the other day before I even looked at Art's page counter and I
was wrong.

We had just reviewed some server stats for a few of our client's sites. We
use Web Trends which reports "hits" as individual image, script, and page
requests. This 'inflates' the numbers by about 5 to 1 (in this particular
case). We had GREAT difficulty convincing a client that "visits" are a far
more accurate indication of visits to a site that "hits".

That conversation was too fresh in my mind when Art happened to post his
note describing his milestone of 50,000 hits. I should looked prior to
commenting.

Art is correct. Those ARE actual page counts. Congrats!

If I was correct it was by accident because I know zero about hits vs visits.
But thanks for the input guys. I appreciate it. Can't wait for the 100,000 hit
mark. (gd&r)
