Subject: Nodes per second

What are nodes per second.
I count, how often alpha-beta is called in a search, and taht are my nodes.
Is this correct, or should I count the generated moves?
It is not really important, but everybody speaks about, how many nps a program
makes, and if everybody defines nodes different, all compares a nonsense.
On the other hand, nps only give sense, if there is no computer thinking on
opponents time!?
