In read committed level, if the second update launches before the first
update is finished (commits), then both of these updates will operate on
the old counter value. That is, you miss one page hit.
If it's possible, you might want to consider "logging" your page hits and
make a view for the page counts (with group by, etc.). That will get you
around the concurrency issues altogether.
