I think hits is files, number of things accessed. So if your webpage has an external stylesheet, or some external javascript, the spider may grab these.

How can that be ? Not sure, that is a bit perplexing. Do they have the same hostname? Make sure your HostAliases is set up correctly if you have missed a host here that your site could be called then it will think its external. > > Thanks. No worries hope that helps.
