Kiesha: Thanks for the explanation. Do you know about sites with a high percentage of unique visitors?

Hi!! I had never even thought about it before - I used to think they were the same thing, too.

Thanks for clearing up this topic. What would you say about unique visitors' stats compared with page views?

Hi Lyceum,

Unique visitors - counts only the visitor - no matter how many pages they viewed (so a high unique visitor is really good)

Page views - is how many pages a visitor viewed. 50 people could view 1000 pages. It's how many times they click from page to page on your site.

Really informative post, Kiesha.

For a long time I was confused about the difference between page views and page hits. Your post really did a great job of breaking down the two. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

Keep the great content coming and I look forward to your next post. :)
