Yes, it's me again

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
