My web host provides so dang much "hit" info that it's befuddling. I started my website Aug '05. The year of 2005 yielded 6442 page requests. So far in 2006, 10,082 page requests. I'm not advertising anywhere other than PB, though I believe that the hits are creating ranking within the search engines that will tap into the page names. Maybe some of our geekier computer gurus can explain further...?
