Hi I need some help on how to calculate pageviews in for my chat rooms. To Describe about my chat, I have 10 chat rooms and its a 4 frame template.
1)The top frame is a single HTML file which pulls out the room name and displays it and also has the ad-banner and my site logo.The frame refreshes on change of every room by the user.
2) The Center Frame is the chat java/html plugin.
3) The bottom frame has the functions to perform actions like changing room, adding buddies and etc.
Now I would like to know which page I take to calculate the pageview of my chat inside the chat room . I currently get data on the Index and the loging page. Can some one help me with this. Waiting for a reply ASAP.

first, you have to decide where to place any future ads. If you know where it'll be, I suggest you place a statistical counter there. I think that should calculate the pageviews that you want.

Thanks for the reply .
But I still have small problem.My user interface has a single action frame. Whenever a user changes room/channel this frame refreshes. So Iam counting the request for this frame only as my pageviews.
But this frame also has my ad-banners. Suppose I rotate my ad-banner can I count the ad-banner impressions also as different pageviews, although the frame does not refresh when the ad-banner changes.
What is the accepted practice worldwide for other chat site. Could you tell me a loaction where I can find supporting documentation for the same.
Thank you so much for your help

I think Ad Agencies have a rule regarding sites with chat rooms. For example, I think flycast requires publishers to at least have a meta refresh tag of 300 seconds of banner rotation with ads on refreshing frames.
So, talking about pageviews; I think it's best if you embed a server side code (statistical script) on all of your pages in that way you'll accurately get the information you want./
