A "hit" counts every page and graphic request and is not a true
indication of the number of visitors you may be getting.

This is true, but on the other hand, a big provider like AOL or
Earthlink will cache web pages and images in a proxy, so one hit
from AOL might potentially serve thousands. The number of hits
is a very rough indication of traffic; running the logs through
an analysis package like Analog or Webalyzer or even grepping the
logs for unique host requests for the index page gives a more
accurate indication of traffic.

That said, congrats to Art for 50,000 hits
