Webalizer confusion

Hi everyone,

If a site has 70 'visits' and 198 'unique urls' how can that be?

Shoudn't they be a very similar figure?

Cheers

Nick, this might answer your question. [mrunix.net...]

Great, thanks Birdman!

I did look on that site (I'm not that dim ;)) but I just missed it...

Well I hadn't thought this through before.

So if an image is requested it would count towards the unique URLs but not the visits correct?

Just thought you might have overlooked. I recently hired a new host for a site and they had Webalizer. I don't particularly like it myself, but that's what they offer along with Analog. Neither seem very in depth.

Many users can appear to come from a single site, and they can also appear to come from many ip addresses so it should be used simply as a rough guage as to the number of visitors to your server.

I think it has something to do with proxy ip's(?)
