    newbie question - help me understand this stats

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



    All I want to know is what the hell is a 'request' Is it the number of visitors?
    Where do I see the number of UNIQUE VISITORS for the day, I have :


    General Summary | Hourly Report | Organization Report | Host Report | User Report | Referrer Report | Referring Site Report | Search Query Report | Browser Report | Browser Summary | Operating System Report | Status Code Report | File Type Report | Directory Report | Failure Report | Request Report

    Will any of these show me the number of UNIQUE VISITORS???

    thanks for your help

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

                  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.

                                      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.

                                              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
