  11. BA Science Supercourse Statistics of visits and hits for 2012 • Visits: 284,398Visits occur when some remote site makes a request for a page on your server for the first time. As long as the same site keeps making requests within a given timeout period, they will all be considered part of the same Visit. If the site makes a request to your server, and the length of time since the last request is greater than the specified timeout period (default is 30 minutes), a new Visit is started and counted, and the sequence repeats. Since only pages will trigger a visit, remotes sites that link to graphic and other non- page URLs will not be counted in the visit totals, reducing the number of false visits. • Hits: 10,349,576Hits represent the total number of requests made to the server during the given time period (month, day, hour etc..).
