Unique visitors vs. sessions

•Hits: The number of times your site is given a request for information from a web browser. (Note: a web page with two images would generate three “hits”, one each for the images, and one for the page itself.)

•Files: The number of times a web browser requests a file and the server on which your site resides delivers that file.

•Pageviews: The number of times a web browser requests a text or html file, which shows a truer reflection of the actual documents requested from your site.

•Sessions: The number of unique hosts accessing the server during a given period of time – unique visitors.

•Kbytes Sent: The amount of data sent during the summary period as reported by the server.
