So does "impression" refer to the page with the ad being seen?

That's the only way I can view it in my head... I don't really see how they'd know if someone saw the ad or not, unless there is like a trackback code in the pages we're visiting, or it's based on cookies or whatnot.

I guess I'd rather you not explain it, it might bring up a security issue in my head that I would then have to address imperatively and promptly on my own system, and I'd rather not have to play with Vista anymore. I hate this OS, but it's wifey's computer.

So I guess my question is: If I spam reload on a page, will that make more "impressions" for the sponsoring ad?
