Can someone please help me read the traffic stats on my site.

General Summary

(Figures in parentheses refer to the 7-day period ending Jan 19 2003 at 8:48 AM).
Successful requests: 163,743 (600)
Average successful requests per day: 1,273 (85)
Successful requests for pages: 13,667 (23)
Average successful requests for pages per day: 106 (3)
Failed requests: 258,708 (166)
Redirected requests: 86 (0)

Hey sartz

The figures in the parentheses denote traffic in the past week; the rest is in the current month.

A request is exactly that: any file (image, HTML or other) that's been served by your web site. So if you have 10 images on the home page, that's 11 hits.

For daily traffic you need to read the daily breakout of the diagrams. Some of them even show the hits per hour around the clock, days of the week eetc.
