Um... for us computer-idiots, what exactly are "hits" and "hosts" ?
louisev:
A hit is when someone opens the page - i.e. looks at it. Also known as a "page view."
A host is an individual computer, as counted by IP address. In other words, if you open 10 pages, such as chapters 80 through 89, from your computer, the counter registers one host (your computer), and 10 hits.

The counter that Louise has on your story (and I have on mine, too) records the number of hosts and hits. A "host" is an IP address while a "hit" is the number of times people have come to the site. I have found on my site they generally go in a 1:2 ratio, which suggests to me that a user may come back to read a chapter twice. For example, I posted a chapter yesterday and by the end of the day, I had 199 hosts and 365 hits.
Louise's proposal chapter went over 3000 hits, which is amazing, when you think about it.
