Looking at the site stats of my new blog available from the host, I am surprised to see that I have an average of 1,681 hits a day, sometimes the figure reaches 3,700. But what confuses me is the stats also show number of visitors which have a different figure. These are the stats shown for yesterday :
Date : 10 Oct 2007
No. of visitors : 164 (the figure is low here as I still have 200+ visitors to my old blog)
No. of pages :367
Hits : 1879
Does anyone know how to interpret it, i.e. what’s the difference between no. of visitors and no. of hits? What are pages too – is it the number of pages that the visitors had viewed from my blog?
Also, I am surprised to see from the stats that most of my visitors are from Australia (8,444 hits), USA (8,678 hits), Netherlands, Japan, HK and other countries abroad. It surprises me more that hits from Malaysia only stand at 500+. These blogging stats are really mind boggling!
No. of times viewed = 186
haha…shud be mind “blogging” instead of “bogging”.
Chin Nee… LOL, you’re right Chin Nee!
i think some are spams…that’s why hit rate so high
No of visitors = no. of people visiting your blog. This also includes yourself, people using your computer.
No of pages = the number of pages of your blog read.
Hits = each image on your page is a hit. When these pictures load, it’s a hit, so if you have 50 pictures on your site, you get 50 hits. So this isn’t really very accurate in terms of determining traffic.
Jenn… thanks for the explanation!
Yeah.. I’m oso confused with the stats.
Sometimes they also record your own click… so not very accurate lar…
Everytime I refresh also considered as a click so… it sort of inflate the stats.
