Any users of NA can further explain the "Hits" results. I know the manual explains a bit about how many times a users visits a site, but I know there is more to it than that and trying to figure it out. If a user goes to a particular site once, but the hits indicate "5", what causes the additional hits? I remember a big to do with the woman who went to trial on killing her daughter and there was a huge issue with the examiner saying a certain site was visited 80 something times, but the actual visit was only once. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated!

I should have conducted a search on the forums before posting, sorry. I found a post that had the below link and it pretty much answered my question. Hit count can't be relied on, especially with IE. The below post is an experiment on the hit count and the results. Interesting read.
