In Webtrends, what is the difference between a HIT, a VISIT and a PAGE VIEW

I cannot seem to find any straight and clear documentation explaining the differences between these value types. Hits used to be any call to the server regardless of the file type, but Webtrends only tracks page views, so how is a page view different for a hit? As for visits, I assume that 1 visit can produce multiple page views.

I am seeking enlightenment.

Solution

  • Ultimately, Hits in this case are equal to page views. Hope this helps anyone encountering the same issue with Webtrends.
