Many websites you go to on the world wide web quote Hits.  Most of the time it is a very large and impressive figure.  However quoting Hits, whether it is intentional or not, can be misleading.  A single webpage accessed by one person one time can produce anywhere from one to an infinite number of hits.  That's because in addition to the webpage itself, each graphic image, photo, colorful ball, star, etc. located on the webpage is counted by the server as a separate hit. In addition, the manner in which the items are retrieved (ie; relative or absolute paths) directly affects the hit count.
