HIT - When a user requests an HTML document, image, or external object on the World Wide Web, the server records that request as a "hit." The problem with measuring popularity based on "hits" is that webservers, depending on the logging level, count each graphic on that page as a hit. For example, if you look at a page with 5 images on it, some servers count that as 6 hits: one for the HTML page and 5 for the graphics. For this reason "hits" are a questionable measurement of how popular a website actually is. |
