+                In order to log page-views one can use:
+                 - single-pixel method (advantage: also works if javascript is disabled)
+                 - JavaScript (similar to Google analytics)
+                 - Analyze mime type (advantage: no additional code/requests necessary)
+                 - Log analysis (no special tracking required)
