Quoting Todd Richards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Things to consider... I don't want someone refreshing the page to increase the hits, but I do want their visit to count if they come back a day later, for instance. So the thought of a cookie that expires came to mind. However, there is a chance that someone will arrive to a particular venue's page directly, via a "send to friend" link. So they might not get that cookie from another part of the website.
As each visitor should have a unique SessionID, I would build something that counted a SessionID-URL as a single hit. That would eliminate refreshes and allow for the same user returning later. I avoid 'real' cookies whenever I can.
