Question: What does "hit counter"
mean? Answer: A script or applet that counts the number of times a user views a page. Technically, the hit counter records every instance that any item, such as a page or graphic, is retrieved from a web server. For example, when a user views a page with six graphics, that is seven hits recorded by the hit counter. The number of hits is not always a good indicator of how many users are visiting a web site.
