how many baskets are needed to hold 1389 apples?
[hint:]depends on the size of the apples[/hint:]

My point: it's really hard to answer that question. THere are too many variables to consider like: what kind of files are you serving mostly? what's the average size of a page view? do you run any kind of compression (mod_Gzip or VB built in compression module)? etc ... etc ...

cheers,

What they are trying to say is there is a lot that goes into this which can make the results vary GREATLY.

I.E. are all of the pages nothing but text, or do they have pictures. How many pictures?

Are the pages dynamically made with something like ASP or PHP. That makes a big difference as well.

I read somewhere that you can squeez about 50,000 normal pageviews out of a 1 gig of transfer. However, I have NO idea if this is true or not, but in this case I would assume that if it was a normal pageview would be a page of text that didn't need to be scrolled more than once and only has one or two pictures per page (small ones.)

If that was the case that would place you between 65 and 80 gigs per month. Then again though, as I said before, there are a lot of factors in this so it isn't really something that is easy to speculate..

My case: My website have two stats modules:
The first module calculates 3 GB / day.
The second module calculates 120.000 pageviews / day and 400.000 KB. / day.

I dont know what is the real traffic. One of two modules is erroneus sure.
Each webpage is composed by 5 javascript calls to phpADS to show banners and autopromos, and others SSI calls. The size of each page is aprox. 20-30 kb. Static html pages, no php or asp.

Thanks for all.
