It's a renowned fact that 70 to 80 percent of traffic comes from search engines and the remaining form advertisements, marketing of email, banners, mobile phones etc.

Many people find increasing web hits as an effective method of increasing traffic to a site. A hit is counted whenever a unique file whether an html, image or scripts file is downloaded. Most of the people believe that the amount of requests a person makes are the amount of hits a site gets but since the website can contain a number of unique files counting hits is often meaningless in judging the success of the site. Web hits do not necessarily prove as effective as increasing visitors, sessions or page views.

Many webmasters prefer web hits while reporting their traffic and consider that website hits are not appropriate for measuring website success
