ok, it's a brand new site, and I haven't seen stats like this before so here they are:

ssp · 02-23-2006, 08:27 AM

Your unique visitors will most likely be the lowest number, so in this case #pages.

brand0n · 02-23-2006, 08:31 AM

id think a request UNI

Thrawn$ · 02-23-2006, 08:33 AM

pages is probably page views and request are visits but not unique visits

Downtime · 02-23-2006, 08:35 AM

yeah pages are page views and requests are either the raw hits or the uniques, hard to see with just that screenshot

I'm thinking Req's means request of any file - if this is true then every page has about 15 files since if you divide Req with Pages you almost get 15 every time. This means that Pages is probably the unique, but it depends on what pages are included.

The traffic goes to the index page which has 15 jpg files (thumbnails) on it, and nothing else but links to a sponsor

Damn, I'm even more confused. I think the only way is to put up a counter on that page and just find out for sure.

The Req's include those thumbnails requests on your pages.

The pages is the amount of time your pages have been loaded - so the pages is your amount of hits - but these stats do not tell you whether those are raw or unique. I'd put a counter on them or just use apache logs.

DutchTeenCash · 02-23-2006, 09:02 AM

req = pageviews
pages = uniques

Tom_PM · 02-23-2006, 09:06 AM

If I had a page with 15 images and 1 unique person typed in the URL, it would generate 16 requests. 1 for the html, 15 for the images.
If you have any external files like CSS or javascript, those would be a request also.

I thnk you're right, damn only ~200 uniques a day? Testing a new traffic source but that totally sucks haha

requests = hits

those look like analog stats

with analog stats a 'host' is a visitor

so 100 hosts would be 100 visitors

you hit the nail on the head:

number of hosts = number of unique IP addresses, I just didn't know where to look ;)

so 115 uniques for that day
