I use awstats for stats of my sites.

I want to monitor one page, say, example.htm

when i go to navigation section and search for example.htm i have the following columns:
URL
Viewed
Average size
Entry
Exit
now my question is: What does "viewed" mean?
is it the number that shows total number of this page's downloads, i.e. if one visitor saw it 3 times will it show 3?
or is it recorded once per visit so no matter how many times one sees it will always show 1 per 1 visitor?

thanks for your help

I THINK that with awestats that will be the first. In other words, if a person refreshes the page 3 times, then the count goes up. I say this because last time I looked, Awestats was a logfile editor. This means that it can't track cookies. It COULD decide that calls on the same url from the same IP in a given time period should not count twoce, but I don't think it does. You'd have to check the manual ... no... wait... that level of error in log file tracking usually eludes the manuals ;)
