Yes, it's me again  Smiling Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one using this part of the forum!

I'm hoping someone can help me interpret what some stats from webalizer mean. My monthly stats for August were:

1580 visits
7918 pages
29060 files
43531 hits

I have a vague understanding of what these different terms mean, but don't know if these results are 'good' or not.  I have sitemeter on my homepage and the results I get from that are very different, so I'm confused.  SM shows far less visits. 

Also what are 'requests'?  For instance, the analogue report shows 'Successful Requests': 94, 210 (12, 625) and I have no idea what that means.

Any help would, as always, be greatly appreciated   Very Happy

A forum search on Webalizer will find a number of previous posts that have a) an explanation of the terms, plus a link to a documentation page on the Webalizer site that explains further (try a forum search here on "mrunix"), b) discussions about why there are discrepancies in the stats as reported by different stats programs. If you don't find that in these forums, a web search will surely turn up info. It gets asked a lot. There is also a page of info about it somewhere at the Google Webmaster Tools site.

There is no standard against which you can compare your results and declare them either good or bad.  Use the statistics from your initial months of operation as a baseline. If they improve in the coming months, that's good.  Yep
