Hi guy's,
Can you please help me understand the statistics and the difference between "Unique visitors", "Number of visits", "Pages", "Hits"and "Bandwidth"
Thanks again for a great product, I'm having heaps of fun.
Regards,
Richie

Hi Richard,

Unique visitor
Under this column you will see the number of unique IP addresses that have accessed your website. This number can be associated with the different people that have browsed your website.

Number of visits
This column shows the total number of visits to your website. If a certain person reads your pages every day he/she will add to this number on each visit. Right under it, you will notice the visits/visitors ratio. It can be useful to determine how many of your users are returning to your website.

Pages
This column shows the number of different pages that were opened on your website from your visitors.

Hits
Under this column you will see the number of accessed files that were recorded for your pages. For example, if your index.php file includes four other documents, when the index file is accessed, it will generate a total of 5 hits.

Bandwidth
Each file of your website has a certain size. For example, if your index.php file is 100KB, each access to your website will generate 100KB of bandwidth. The size of all files downloaded from your website is added to this number.

For more info on these, and other type of stats, please have a look at http://kb.siteground.com/article/Awstats_Stats_Explained.html

Thank you
