About Blog Traffic

Blog traffic is measured to see the popularity of blog sites and individual pages or sections within a site.

Blog traffic can be analysed by viewing the traffic statistics found in the blog server log file, an automatically-generated list of all the pages served. A hit is generated when any file is served. The page itself is considered a file, but images are also files, thus a page with 5 images could generate 6 hits (the 5 images and the page itself). A page view is generated when a visitor requests any page within the web site – a visitor will always generate at least one page view (the main page) but could generate many more.
