Subject: Based on what my "counter" service says is the difference....

A "Hit" is recorded each time a person visits your page. So if I log onto the computer and in the course of the day go to your site 6 times, that's six hits. (Also, if someone links to your graphics on their site, and the server calls them up, that's recorded as a "hit".)

A "Visit" is recorded each time a new IP accesses the site. So, if I log onto the computer and in the course of the day go to your site six times, it's only one "visit"...unless I then go home and log on with another account. That would be a second "visit."

Does that make sense at all?
