A common misunderstanding is that the number of hits relates to the number of visitors. A hit is the number of times each part of a website is asked to be opened by a web browser.
Example:
If you open the home page of http://www.canzdesign.com/ (which has approx. 50 graphics plus the page itself and the CSS formatting the page) it would count as 60 hits, so one visitor looking at two or three pages could easily count for 200 hits.
Is the Number of Visitors to a Site Important?
The number of visitors to a site is important if they are visitors interested in purchasing from you. A
Careful SEO can target visitors likely to purchase as opposed to browsers or visitors looking at copying graphics etc from your site for free.
