Hit (Affiliate Programs)

A hit is recorded every time a web browser makes a request for a single item of information. When looking at this number, keep in mind that one hit is recorded for every element on the page; so if there are 20 graphics on a page, 20 hits plus 1 for the HTML, will be recorded (21 hits) – not really an accurate count of the number of actual hits to that site.

Hit (Interactive Marketing)

When users access a Web site, their computer sends a request to the site's server to begin downloading a page. Each element of a requested page (including graphics, text, interactive items) is recorded by the site's Web server log file as a "hit." If a page containing two graphics is accessed by a user, those hits will be recorded once for the page itself and once for each of the graphics. Webmasters use hits to measure their servers' workload. Because page designs and visit patterns vary from site to site, the number of hits bears no relationship to the number of pages downloaded, and is therefore a poor guide for traffic measurement.

Hit (Internet)

As used in reference to the World Wide Web, ?hit? means a single request from a web browser for a single item from a web server; thus in order for a web browser to display a page that contains 3 graphics, 4 ?hits? would occur at the server: 1 for the HTML page, and one for each of the 3 graphics.
