A view is a hit to a Web page. By default, NetTracker doesn't count hits to graphics files (such as JPGs and GIFs) as page views. You can customize the files you don't want to count as views.

A visit is a series of consecutive views of a Web site by the same user. If the user does not view a new Web page in a specified period of time (the default is 30 minutes), the next page viewed by that user is considered the start of a new visit.

A visitor is a person viewing a Web site. If your Web site does not use cookies or if the visitor does not have a cookie, a visitor is defined as a unique combination of a user agent and a host name or IP address. If your site uses cookies sent by the Sane Web Server Plug-in, a visitor would be defined by the cookie transmitted by the visitor's browser. NetTracker can also be configured to define visitors based on their HTTP authenticated user name or a parsed parameter.
