A little terminology correction (pet peeve of mine, sorry) I know this is just nit picky, but those aren't called hits, they're the number of web sites that have at least one of the words listed in your search. The actual site may not have anything to do with the subject you were searching for.Originally posted by hitssquad
20,800 hits:

A "hit" is when someone goes to a page on a website. If you go to more than one page on the same site, it will be more than one hit.
Tallying the number of "hits" on a site is used in e-commerce to gauge a site's popularity and this can be used by the site's owner to lure advertisers.
Sorry, off topic.
I do enjoy your posts though.
