Let's officially replace the use of the word hits when citing traffic with something little bit less ambiguous;)
Hits technically refer to each request for an item to your web server. So one page view can have 10+ hits if you take into account that each image can be construed as a hit. It doesn't help that some web analyzers still continue to measure and proactively show hits almost as synonymous to a pageview. It isn't.

- zaidf 16y agoNo worries. Congrats on such awesome traffic numbers! Of course, if you were following the true spirit, we'd see a hockey stick chat comparing TechCrunch's launch traffic to your projected traffic :)
- g0atbutt 16y agoHa, well played. In all seriousness I would love to see TechCrunch's traffic in the early days. A quick search primarily revealed other startups traffic after being featured on TC. Does anyone have a link?
