difference between a Visit, View, and Hit?


What is the 


Visit - Someone comes to your web site and looks around a bit. They may go to one page, or they may go to 100 pages, but their still only visiting once.

View - How many pages were seen by that visit

Hit - How many physical resources were requested from the server by that visit. Pages are made up of many items (images, text, etc). Each of those is a hit, while a view is the page itself

Think of it like a book store. A person goes into the store (visit) and picks up 5 books to buy (views). While he is holding the books, he flips through them and looks at a few pictures (hits). So he would have 1 visit to the store, 5 books handled during his visit (views), and maybe 30 pictures he looked at (hits).
