I would like to under the awstats program better.
Now, when I see the words enter and exit regarding a url
I assume that mean people are entering m y site through a particular url, but now when it says exit, does that mean they are leaving the site entirely or going to another url within the site, or I am unable to tell?
Thank you
This is a puzzle
I think part of the problem is that I have links on these inside pages taking people to other pages, maybe they just can't wait and want to see what is on another page.
Could that be it?

"Enter" shows the number of visits that entered your site at various pages. In other words, it shows how many visits had various pages as the very first page in the visit.
"Exit" shows the number of visits that left the site immediately after viewing various pages. It's how many visits had various pages as the last page in the visit.
So, if the "Enter" report said /pageABC.html was 100, then 100 visits started on /pageABC.html.
And if the "Exit" report said /pageABC.html was 5, then 5 visits left the site from /pageABC.html.
There's another report that shows how many times /pageABC.html was visited, in all. Let's say it's 500.
Then /pageABC.html was seen 500 times. It was the first page in 100 visits, and was the last page in 5 visits. And a lot of visits, approximately 400, saw /pageABC.html somewhere in the middle of the visit, neither as the first or the last page.
Is that clearer? Your entry pages are probably your home page and/or pages that search engines link to. Exit pages can be anything ... it's just where the visitor decides they've seen enough of your site and they go away after looking at those pages.
The thing is I want to get more people to the order page! and I have lots of examples of what I do on there, I'll look over the status again.
Thank you for your explanation, it's like learning a n ew language~
