    I've wondered about this as well. On one of my personal projects I have a count data base column that gets incremented every time the page for that ID gets hit...

    ...that said my analytics program (reInvigorate) tells me that the count column numbers are much higher than relevant web visitors they count...

    My only thought could be the impressions are from some kind of bot crawling the pages? I'm not sure.

    I imagine the Joomla CMS page count/click to be something very similar to a simple database column auto incrementing and maybe not entirely accurate.
