No problem, It's not an easy thing to explain. I have a site that I built as a resume to apply for a position at one specific company, and I blocked search engines. I want to be notified every single time the site is viewed, since there's a very small, specific group of people who will visit it.
You could also put one of these on the 'thank you' page if you're selling something, to be notified when people make a purchase, or on a specific type of error page.
Or you could put this in an HTML email to be notified when people open the email (although many mail clients block this).
It's certainly not something you'd want to put on the front page of news.ycombinator.com. It's intended for much lower traffic, but high value locations. Plus, it's free and it only took a day to build, and it was fun :)
