    A page view (PV) or page impression is a request to load a single page of an Internet site.

    [SIZE=-1]A page view refers to the viewing of a web page on a web site. The number of page views will tell how many times a page was viewed or how many pages was viewed on the whole site.

    A page hit [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]refers to a single request from a Web browser for exactly one item from a Web server. Consequently, for a Web browser to display a page that contains four graphics, five hits are required--one for the page itself and one for each of the four graphics.[/SIZE]

    So a particular web page viewed for one time will have 1 page views and n+1 number of page hits where n is number of items (images, javascript, swf file etc) in a web page.

    Why has there been a sudden increase in people posting about 'interview questions'....Does this mean there are loads of people being ripped off all over the planet?

    Page Hits and Page Views both terms refer to same activity. Some tools use page hits term and some other page views.

    Thats not quite true.
    A page hit usually means when something is loaded up within a page, an image or a file or something...A page view is when a complete page is loaded and viewed. That is a massive difference in value and the number of hits can be very deceiving as to the actual amount of visitors and pages viewed.

    Page view is a request to load a single page of site.
    Page hit retrieval of any item like a graphic or page from a web server.

    There may be many hits per page View.

    Search Engines are crawler-based engine that uses a "spider" to visit web pages -- discovering new pages along the way and discovering updates to pages the engine already knows about. It does this by following links from page to page, site to site. The search engine "indexes" these pages as it goes so that the pages can be included in search results for appropriate search terms.

    Submission to Search Engines invite the crawlers to crawl your website & show the website in their search results.

    A web directory is, in essence, like an online version of the yellow pages. Web directories list web sites, usually in a categorical hierarchy that groups together sites with similar themes. Web directories are most often run by human or editors who review sites that are submitted for possible inclusion in the directory. Some directories require payment and some don't.

    Web directories are unlike a search engine in that they have no "crawler" that scours the web looking for new and updated pages. Web directories don't find you, unless a particularly enterprising editor has time to seek out new sites to add to his/her category. That's a rarity, so to have your site appear in a web directory, we need to submit your site to the appropriate category where your site should be listed.

    When someone browses through a web directory's categories, site listings usually appear in alphabetical order. They use the title of your site and the editor writes the description of your site based on what he/she saw when reviewing your site.

    Submission to these web directories brings you potential customer & in SEO term, it helps to build Link popularity by getting one-way link. The listing on the web directories may take 2 - 3 months for free listing & 15 days for paid listing.
