General Statistics - Help Card /
Average Hits Per Day - Number of successful hits divided by the total number of days in the log file.
Average Page Views Per Day - Number of page views (impressions) divided by the total number of days in the log file.
Average Visit Length - Average length of all visits during the report period that viewed at least one file considered a page.
Average Visits Per Day - Number of visits divided by the total number of days in the log file.
Document Views - Number of hits to pages that are considered documents--not dynamic pages or forms--as defined by the system administrator.
Dynamic Pages and Forms Views - Number of hits to pages that are considered dynamic pages or forms. Reporting Center considers any URL containing options (with a question mark in the URL) a dynamic page. Any file with a POST command is considered a form.
Hits - Each file requested by a visitor registers as a hit. Each file requested by a visitor registers as a hit. There can be several hits on each page. While the volume of hits reflects the amount of server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of the number of pages viewed.
Home Page Hits - Number of times the home page (as defined in the profile) was viewed.
International Visits - Percentage of visitors who are defined as "international visitors" by the system administrator.
Page - Any document, dynamic page, or form. Different types of profiles have different default settings for which file extensions qualify a file as a document. These settings can be changed by the Reporting Center system administrator. Any URL containing a question mark is considered a dynamic page. Any file with a POST command is considered a form.
Page View (Impressions) - A hit to any file classified as a page. Contrast the value for "Page Views" with the value for "Successful Hits For Entire Site," which includes hits to files of every type.
Successful Hits For Entire Site - Number of successful hits including HTML pages, images, forms, scripts, and downloaded files.
Unique Visitors - The total number of unique visitors during the report period. A unique visitor is identified by their IP address, domain name, or cookie.
Visits - Number of visits to your site. A visit is a series of actions that begins when a visitor views their first page from the server, and ends when the visitor leaves the site or remains idle beyond the idle-time limit. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes. This time limit can be changed by the system administrator.
Visits From Your Country - Percentage of visits from your country. The name of your country and the country code are shown. Your system administrator configures the selection for your country.
Visits of Unknown Origin - Percentage of visits where the visitor's domain name could not be determined or the country associated with the domain name could not be determined.
Visitors Who Visited More Than Once - Number of visitors who visited the site more than once during the reporting period.
Visitors Who Visited Once - Number of visitors who visited the site exactly once during the reporting period.

Page Views Over Time - Help Card /
Page - Any document, dynamic page, or form. Different types of profiles have different default settings for which file extensions qualify a file as a document. These settings can be changed by the Reporting Center system administrator. Any URL containing a question mark is considered a dynamic page. Any file with a POST command is considered a form.
Page View - A hit to any file classified as a page. Contrast page views with hits, which counts files of every type.
Time Interval - A one-year report displays monthly time increments. A one-quarter report displays weekly time increments. A one-month report or a one-week report displays daily time increments. A daily report displays hourly time increments. All activity attributed to one time increment occurs between the listed increment and the beginning of the next one. An hour-long interval marked 12:00, for example, includes all activity between 12:00 and 12:59.
% - Percentage of total page views that occurred during the specified time interval.
Periods of less activity can be considered good times for maintenance and content improvement.

Avg Time Viewed - Average length of time the specified page was viewed.
Pages - A document, dynamic page, or form. Different types of profiles have different default settings for which file extensions qualify a file as a document. These settings can be changed by the Reporting Center system administrator. Any URL containing a question mark is considered a dynamic page. Any file with a POST command is considered a form. If the page has a title, you will see the title of the page and the URL. Otherwise, you will see the URL and the words "Page Has No Title."
Visits - Number of visits to this page. A visit is a series of actions that begins when a visitor views their first page from the server, and ends when the visitor leaves the site or remains idle beyond the idle-time limit. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes. This time limit can be changed by the system administrator.
% - Percentage of the total visits in which the visitor viewed this page at least once.
Pages with good content and design are more likely to attract visitors and be revisited. Less popular pages on a site can be made more appealing by improving the content or incorporating design elements similar to that on the more important pages. Always remember that people are far more interested in content than in design, and average view times can help determine which content is most important to your visitors.
