This section identifies the most popular pages on the site. The number of views includes only the successful hits for the page itself. It does not include any hits for graphics, audio or video files. The percentage of total views is the percentage of hits for that page compared to all other page types. Tip: The types of files included in this table can be configured using the File Types tab in the Options dialog box. Tip: You can list all pages on the site by selecting a number of elements higher than the number of pages on the site.
Most likely these pages are requested the most because of their content and design.

Consider the average view times to determine which content holds visitor's attention.
This section identifies the least popular pages on your Web site. The number of views only includes the successful hits for the page itself. It does not include any hits for graphics.

There are many reasons that these pages are requested the least. Consider the content and the navigational tools or descriptions available to guide visitors to them. How do these pages differ from those that are most requested? Do the average view times indicate visitors are not attracted long enough to convey your message? This table may indicate areas on your site that may need attention.
This section identifies the first page viewed when a visitor visits this site. This is most likely your home page but, in some cases, it may also be specific URLs that visitors enter to access a particular page directly.

If the session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file is not counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not counted in the total.
This section identifies the pages visitors first saw when they entered this site. This is most likely your home page but, in some cases, it may also be specific URLs that visitors enter to access a particular page directly.

Percentages refer to the total number of visitor sessions that started with a valid Document Type. If a session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file would not be counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not included in the total. Such sessions are often the product of other sites referencing a specific downloadable file or graphic for example on your site. In such cases, a session may have a single hit to a non-document type file, and will not be counted for the percentage calculations.
Also, web servers do not always log hits in perfect chronological order. For example, a hit to a GIF file can appear in the log before the hit to the HTML page that refers to this GIF. Tip: Consider using the Entry Page filter to include or exclude entire visitor sessions based upon the first page a visitor viewed.
