Pageviews vs. Unique Pageviews

A pageview is each time a visitor views a page on your website, regardless of how many hits are generated. Pages are comprised of files. Every image in a page is a separate file. When a visitor looks at a page (a pageview), they may see numerous images, graphics, pictures etc. and generate multiple hits.

A Pageview is defined as a view of a page on your site that is being tracked by the Analytics tracking code. If a visitor hits reload after reaching the page, this will be counted as an additional pageview. If a user navigates to a different page and then returns to the original page, a second pageview will be recorded as well.

The below image clearly show you the different between visits & pageview.

A unique Pageview aggregates pageviews that are generated by the same user during the same session. So now you know why normally advertisers would look into visits rather than Pageview.

Visits & Visitors

A visit happens when someone or something (robot) visits your site. It may consists of one or more page views/ hits. One visitor can make multiple visits to your site.

Visits represent the number of individual sessions initiated by all visitors to your site. If a user is inactive on your site for 30 minutes or more, any future activity will be attributed to a new session. Users that leave your site and return within 30 minutes will be counted as part of the original session.

A session is defined as a series of page requests from the same uniquely identified client with a time of no more than 30 minutes. In other words, a session ends when someone goes to another site, or 30 minutes elapse between pageviews, whichever comes first. A visit ends only after a 30 minute time delay. If someone leaves a site, then returns within 30 minutes, this will count as one visit but two sessions. In practice, most systems ignore sessions and many analysts use both terms for visits. Because time between pageviews is critical to the definition of visits and sessions.

Last but not least, let’s check out Pageviews & Unique Pageviews

The visitor/ analytic report can be misinterpret due to the many similar terms used. Here you’ll find a more detailed explanation of each terms that lead to your questions.

Clicks & Visits

There is different between clicks and visits. Clicks indicates how many times your advertisements were clicked by visitors, while visits indicates the number of unique sessions initiated by your visitors.

A visitor may click your ad several times. When visitor clicks on the same advertisement multiple times during the same session, Google AdWords will record as multiple clicks while Google Analytics recognizes the separate pageviews as one visit. This is a common behavior among visitors who try to do comparison on prices etc.

A visitor may click on your advertisement, but didn’t really look into the page content. In this case, the Analytics tracking code is unable to execute and send tracking data to the Google servers. However, Google AdWords will still register it as one Click.

Technically, a visitor is the browser of a person who accepts a cookie.

Recently we have bounced to lots of news about Internal Security Act, ‘ISA’. I bet you, majority of us do not know what ISA is about. Not an issue, because we will start to learn what it’s about.

The Internal Security Act 1960 (Malay: Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri) is a preventive detention law in force in Malaysia. The legislation was enacted by Malaysian politicians after the country gained independence from Britain in 1957. In brief, it allows for the arrest of any person without the need for trial in certain defined circumstances. Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world whose Constitution allows for preventive detention during peacetime without safeguards that elsewhere are understood to be basic requirements for protecting fundamental human rights.

“Any police officer may without warrant arrest and detain pending enquiries any person in respect of whom he has reason to believe that there are grounds which would justify his detention under section 8; and that he has acted or is about to act or is likely to act in any manner prejudicial to the security of Malaysia or any part thereof or to maintenance of essential services therein or to the economic life thereof.”

Any person may be detained by the police for up to 60 days without trial for an act which allegedly threatens the security of the country or any part thereof. After 60 days, one may be further detained for a period of two years each, to be approved by the Minister of Home Affairs, thus permitting indefinite detention without trial. In 1989, the powers of the Minister under the legislation was made immune to judicial review by virtue of amendments to the Act, only allowing the courts to examine and review technical matters pertaining to the ISA arrest.

What happened on 01 Aug, 2009? It was a gathering event of Anti-ISA and Pro-ISA among few places in Kuala Lumpur such as Sogo, Masjid Jamek and Masjid Negara. And that’s why thousand of peoples trapped in traffic jam. Reports say that there were about 15,000 to 20,000 of them made into this event.

For more information about the event, catch up @ Malaysia Kini by clicking here.

Meanwhile, we will get to know some of the ex-ISA detainees:

1) Tan Hoon Cheng

2) Raja Petra Kamarudin

3) Some others – ethnic Indians

To make a police report, it’s advisable if both parties do it right away after the accident. Reminder: There’s no necessary to take down the other party’s name or IC number. However, get his contact number and car registration number will do. Take picture if possible.

If the other party cannot go to make police report with you, then he will have to do it within 24 hours after the accident. Failing to do which, police officer has rights to issue summon to him.

Here, we will talk about what to take note on the police report when you explain to the police officer. Attached herewith a sample of police report.

(click image to view clearer)

Before making police report, make sure you know where exactly the police station is concerned against the location of accident.

For example. If accident were happened after Sungai Buloh tol, is it consider Sungai Buloh, Shah Alam or Kepong, Kuala Lumpur? If you go to the wrong police station, then you may waste your effort as most of the time, they will not entertain your case by giving the answer that they are not in-charge for that specified area.

1) Now, upon starting the report. Make sure you explain in detail on how the accident happened, what time and if there was any witness.

2) Draw a picture on how the vehicles bump into hamburger, or kisses each another. It’s to double confirm that you are eligible to claim insurance as well.

3) Once the report is complete written, read it again and make sure nothing left behind, which including how your car was damaged due to the accident.

4) If no problem, counter sign on the report and take note of the IO/ AIO, which is the ID number of the police officer/ Sarjan who going to take duty and start investigation on said case. Because with this reference ID, you know who you can refer to for further follow-up.
