very new please help

Hello I have put up a games domain 3 days ago, and use traffic facts its very hard to understand and their is no plain answners or help can some tell me please.

in refering domains the count is 1,759 , in the vistors is 110, it says that referal domains are those that have a link to your site or if your domain address is there these are direct typings to the site. which it is only 179

all very confusing is the count of 1,759 hits this is also listed in visting browsers.

why not say all vistors 110 which is I am sure the real figure as its not listed any where, to make it worste page views are 325 theres only one page,
sorry to be so green but i have spent hours looking for a page to explain it in simple words thanks julie

It can be very confusing, but the logs record page views, then an analyser attempts to work out how many different people that represented.

If your page is shown 10 times, then that could be one user who hit the refresh button 9 times or it could be 10 different people looking at the page.

I am not familiar with all the terms that particular system uses; someone more familiar might provide more.

thanks but all i am trying to work out is if the vistors list says 110 thats it , why they have to have this referals at 1759 and broswer thing is very confusing i thought that i had thousand's of vistors ?

thanks again julie

stats are confusing, I'm not sure what you are reading on yours, but this is basically how it works:

hits = total number of files requested. That includes every image, javascript, css, html, and whatever else the page is made up of. Most pages are made up of between 5-10 files, if they use lots of images, especially for navigation, it's a lot more, upto 30, or more.

pages = the number of html pages delivered, this is how many pages were viewed, in the normal sense you think of pages

referring urls = number of requests that had a referrer other than your own site. If someone clicks a link in your site to your site, the referrer is your site. If someone clicks a link on google and gets to your site, the referrer is google. Usually the referrer count is pretty accurate.

some stat programs will let you filter out your own site from this, others don't, so it varies widely what these numbers mean.

unique visitors, otherwise known as hosts, or hosts served, is the number of unique IP addresses that requested files from your site. Hosts usually is also fairly accurate, within a margin or error of about 25%, that's because some people, especially people using AOL, don't actually get the page from your server, they get it from their servers, so you don't see those visitors.

cheers thanks a lot i am learning
