Hits includes image requests, etc.<BR/><BR/>Findory never has used a lot of images, Javascript, or other goo like that, so the hits are meaningful. You can see that because the hits aren't significantly higher than page views, 3.2M page views in Dec 2005 compared to 4.5M hits.<BR/><BR/>The main reason I'm reporting hits is that Findory moved to different boxes twice in 2004. The logs from those early boxes are in a different format, so hits are what is easily available for early 2004.<BR/><BR/>The page view numbers do appear to be pretty similar. Dec 2005 viewed page views were 3.2M. Sep 2005 viewed page views were 1.9M. Q4 2005 viewed page views were 9.7M, Q3 2005 viewed page views were 5.5M.<BR/><BR/>That's an average monthly growth rate of 21% from Q3 2005 to Q4 2005, stronger than the 16%/month growth in hits during that period.Greg Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216403000599463072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1136164148495535722006-01-01T17:09:00.000-08:002006-01-01T17:09:00.000-08:00Congrats on the great growth Greg.

Nothing wrong with being cash-flow positive either!<BR/><BR/>Question regarding "hits": Are you using the traditional meaning of "hits", which would include basically any call made to your web servers including images, javascript files, etc? I assume not, since that's a pretty meaningless statistic, but unless I read the description wrong, that's what you're using. Page views and unique users would seem to be the graphs you'd want to show... and I'm sure both are equally impressive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
