The process of a visitor clicking on a Web advertisement and going to the advertiser's Web site. Also called ad clicks or requests. The click rate measures the amount of times an ad is clicked versus the amount of times it's viewed. Cookies store information supplied by the user and read it back later to keep track of user behaviour. The buying and selling of products and services by businesses and consumers over the Internet.
Webmasters use hits to measure their server's workload.
Because page designs vary greatly, hits are a poor guide for traffic measurement. In order for Plug and Play to work, both the computer and the peripheral device must support the standard. More than just a search engine, it's a site that provides you with a variety of Internet services including email, chat rooms, free personal Web pages, shopping, guides, etc. Sticky sites are those where the visitors stay for an extended period of time. For instance, a relocation site that offers a moving calculator is stickier than on that doesn't because visitors do not have to leave to find a resource they need.
