As on the daily stats chart;
Hits
Files
Pages
Visits
Sites
Kbytes
Or should I be looking at monthly stats instead?
Total Hits
Total Files
Total Pages
Total Visits
Total KBytes
Total Unique Sites
Total Unique URLs
Total Unique Referrers
Total Unique User Agents
I tried reading the official Webalizer help, but it seems to be written for people who already understand this stuff.
Files - The actual files served. So you could have 50 files served over 1000 hits.
Pages - The number of user-viewable files your web server has served. This is a subset of Hits and only includes HTML files (and they're derivatives - php, asp, etc).
Visits - The number of times people have come to your site.
Unique Visitors - The number of different people (browsers actually) that have come to your site - it will be a lower number than Visits.
Kbytes (or MB, or GB) - The amount of bandwidth used.
Referrers - Sites/URLs that people have come from to get to your site.
User Agents - The piece of software that was used to grab the files off your server - usually a web browser.
That leaves User Agents. I'd look at the numbers and figure it out from there. If you served 1000 pages and it says 5 or 10, then that's the number of different browser types. If it says 200 or 300, then thats the number of visitors...
But a good stats package will weed out the actions of known robots from your stats and give you a count of unique visitors... Doesn't sound like Webalizer does that for you.
