Highest ever August Visitor Numbers

click to enlarge

After the record month for July it's no surprise that visitor numbers have fallen this month even so the figures for August represent an increase of 43% over the same month last year and if you look at the graph you can see how continuous growth in viewing numbers over the months and years has occurred.

Visits or Hits - What's the difference?

A hit is when a server is called as a result of a search engine enquiry. For example if you type in 'Portgordon' on 'Googles' search engine today you will see about 19,300 sites that are available. This enquiry will be counted as a hit on the listed websites including ours - it is only when a link is clicked and the website opened that the hit changes to a visit. The visitor may then look at one page or several - it still counts as a single visit

Hope that explains the difference between visits and hits. I've shown this to Mrs Blog and she says it's as clear as mud!
