***What they Mean:
Visitors- The number of individual unique visitors to your site
Visits - The number of times your site was visited that time
period (can be hours, days, month, etc) and will include multiple visits
from the same visitor.
Page Views - The number of your site pages that your visitors
looked at
Hits - The number of visits, links clicked and visits from search
engines . This also includes the show of images,
style sheets and a single page view can have a dozen or more "hits"
show.
( This is why distinguishing "Visitors", "Visits" and "Page
Views" from "Hits" is so important. Many companies will
sell you on the idea of "hits" which does not always translate into
visitors. )
