When analyzing website statistics, you may have many gauges to measure activity at your site, including *Hits* and *Pageviews*. The hits at your site will likely be less than your pageviews, since many people will look at the one page they go to first(Home page or other page), read for a few seconds and leave.

My question is : how can you narrow this gap and get people to go to other pages in your site, even if you already have all the navigation buttons on every page and even exact instructions about what everything is about on each page ?

I'm guessing if you don't have something *different* on that first page, to keep people interested, you may lose potential clients quickly ?

I'm also guessing that the difference between these two measurements (hits & pageviews)could be a warning sign to change your site ?

Any opinions or suggestions ?

Thank you.
