Thanks Brad.

Another solution I have is
when someone first enters the site he doesn't have a session, increment the
counter,  and  add a session to the request.
Something like this in servlet

static int counter =0;

public void service() {
    HttpSession sess =null;
    if ((sess = req.getSession(false)) != null) {
        // user has already a session --> has already incremented the
counter
    } else {
        counter += 1;
        sess = req.getSession(true);    // add session to req
    }
}

Check the referrer.  If it's your own site, then don't count
it as a hit.
