The first one shows an average of 32,582 hits a day. The second shows an average of 129,954 hits a day. The second one includes images. I get really irritated when people report hit-counts, implying *pages* viewed but neglect to weed out the images because, as you can see, images really inflate the numbers. Including images also seriously skew "browser share" stats against lynx. Viewing one page in lynx generates one hit (ignoring caching for the moment) while the same page may generate 10 or 15 hits for a graphical browser. Now, in the my-server-is-faster-than-yours wars, images stats are important. :) -john
