"Page Requests" means exactly what it says - a request for a webpage (by 
default, a .htm or .html page). A Hit is any request, including images. If 
you have 3 images on each page, then 25% of the your "Requests" will be 
"Page Requests".

A "Page Request" would only be a good proxy for a "visit" if you have a 1 
page website.
