Neither of them :-) The page counter shows how many visits were tracked, that is how many times your image was loaded. Depending on how the counter works, it may not have counted some legitimate visits, or may have overcounted visits coming from different addresses (or may have just counted hits). Analog shows how many different hosts have been hitting your server, including robots, scanning tools/viruses/worms etc. so the number does not give you any indication how many visits you had -- the number could be anywhere between 0 and 214 (actually, it could be higher since your page may have been cached by proxies and served to more visitors than shown in your logs). -- Klaus Johannes Rusch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.atmedia.net/KlausRusch/ +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
