Intepreting Site Statistics

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to intepret the statistics from a particular site.  The site is
on 9netave if anyone is familiar with the kind of stats program they keep.
In particular I was looking at the "reverse domains" and "referrers."  Can
someone give me some good working definitions of these and the differences
between them.  The reason I ask is when checking the reverse domains, I see
a huge number of search engine listings.  But it's completely different when
looking at the referrers.  Also in the past few months, this site has gotten
a lot of hits and I've compared the unique visitors and total hits with the
search engines listed in the reverse domains and the number don't seem to
match.  That is, one month had a larger unique visitor count but lower
number of search engine listings and for the next month, it's reversed.  It
would seem that a larger search engine number would lead to more unique
visitors.  I don't understand why.

Sorry this is so complicated.  Thanks for any help.
