How do you think Deudge gets a gazillion ‘hits’ on his website? Every time the page refreshes, it’s a new hit...and every time you click a link and click back it’s a new ‘hit’. It’s what keeps Drudge’s numbers up.

Every time the page refreshes, it’s a new hit...

Tricky. I did not know that.

Every time the page refreshes, it’s a new hit.
Hits also includes "assets" on a page, like images. If a page loads with ten images on it, that's eleven hits.

• Visit - Is someone who comes to your Web site and looks around a bit.
  They may go to one page or they may go to 100 pages, but they're still only visiting once.
  
  
• View - Is how many pages were seen by that visit.
  
  
• Hit - Is how many physical resources were requested from the server by that visit.
  Pages are made up of many items (images, text, etc). Each of those is a hit, while a view is the page itself.
