Stats Question

Hey, 
  I have a raw cpm ads scheme on my Proxy site and i wonder what these stats meant.



I know what the Unique hits are, but what is the difference between page veiws and hits?

 I know what pageveiws are but what are hits, whats the difference?!
 Thanks in advance

hits = connections to (all) files on your server
page views = how often a document is called (.htm, .php etc.)

hits = connections to (all) files on your server
page views = how often a document is called (.htm, .php etc.)

I don't get it, so say i have 100 files on my server. Every time someone veiws the page it calls EVERY single file on the server?
 And also, if i put RAW CPM ads would they be counted on page veiws?

yes if the user hits F5+refresh (windows)

every file on that page. Lets say your .html page contains 4 images: viewing that page would cause 5 hits (4 images + the .html)

yes, thats right but only the first time since browsers use files from the cache too. There are also files which are executed every time like php scripts...

All those are correct, but you should also have in mind that most proxies have false statistics as most of the hits are also counted as pageviews. So the only real statistic data you can use from a proxy site is the unique visitors value.
