Define "page". By default, Analog considers .html and .htm and 
directories (*/) as "Pages". If you use something else to define a page, 
then you need to tell Analog about it.

As I said before, every website is different. A rule of thumb that might 
work for your website would be utterly useless for someone else's 
website. You'd have to have a pretty intimate understanding of any 
particular website to make a fair judgement about what metrics might 
make sense for that particular website.
