Entry Page - The first page a visitor sees when entering your Web site. To qualify as an entry page the visit must start with a valid page type. If a session starts at a file with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file does not count as an entry page, and the session is not included in the total. Such sessions are often the result of other sites referencing a specific downloadable file or graphic on your site. In these cases, a session may have a single hit to a non-page file, and will not be counted. Also, Web servers do not always log hits in perfect chronological order. For example, a hit to a GIF file can appear in the log before the hit to the HTML page that refers to this GIF.
Page - Specific page being analyzed. If the page has a formal title, you will see the title of the page and the URL. Otherwise, you will only see the URL.
Visits - Number of times the specified page was the entry page. Individual visitors are counted each time they come to the Web site. If a visitor is idle longer than the idle-time limit, WebTrends assumes the visit was voluntarily terminated. If the visitor continues to browse your site after they reach the idle-time limit, a new visit is counted. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes.
% - Percentage of times this page was the entry page compared with other entry pages.
