DOVER WEB STATISTICS at http://webstats.dover.nh.gov

What are your definitions of hits, visitors, unique IPs, page views?
An access of a web page or a file will generate a "Hit" on the web server. For example, if a web page contains 10 pictures, a visit on that page will generate 11 "hits" on the web server, one hit for the web page, 10 hits for the pictures.

If a visitor viewed 5 web pages on the web site, each page contain 10 pictures, the web server will record:
55 Hits
5 Page Views
1 visit

If the visitor left the web site and came back 30 minutes later, 123LogAnalyzer will report 2 visits. If the visitor came back within 30 minutes, 123LogAnalyzer will still report 1 visit.
A unique user (with unique IP address) is determined by the IP address. By default, a visit session is terminated when a user falls inactive for more than 30 minutes. So a unique user (with unique IP address) may visit your web site twice and get reported as two visits.
