[rhino56]

like you will see soething in stats of sites like pages, visitors and hits is always like 10000000x more than anything

how many people who have visited their page.

A questionable measure of web site traffic. Count one hit each time a browser request is made from a web server. For example, a page containing 5 images counts 6 hits each time it is viewed (once for each image and once for the page itself). Page views are a much better way to measure traffic.

That's not true... some counters make sure to only count unique visits by different IPs

If only some do it by IP, then how does it make the definition untrue?
