hi i was involved in a webcast for the UK Make Poverty History event on July 2nd and have analyzed my Icecast logs using Sawmill (http://www.sawmill.net/) which supports Icecast logs: http://www.sawmill.net/formats/ice_cast.html looking at the data below i have been asked what the difference is between 'Page Views' and 'Visitors' with regard to Icecast logs: Page Hits Page views Visitors Size 1 /mph.mp3 14,542 34.4 % 14,542 7,710 16.12 G 2 /mph.mp3.m3u 11,812 28.0 % 11,812 8,805 1.07 M from a Sawmill Manual & FAQ - www.haage-partner.net/download/ Sawmill/Sawmill7-Documentation.pdf - page views are the numbers of 'accesses to HTML pages' and 'page views correspond to hits on pages'. from the above i can see that 'Hits' equals 'Page Views' which makes sense - what does Icecast log as a Hit or Page View? does this mean anything at all in Icecast terms or should i safely ignore the number of Page Views? regards chip
