Thread: What is the difference...

On the stats page what is the difference from unique visits, number of visits and hits? Thanks!

Also what are spider and robot visitors?

'Visits' is the number of times a Page has been viewed.
'Hits' is the roughly the number of times a page has been viewed multiplied by the number of objects on the page.
'Unique visits' is the number of times a different web address has looked at a page.
'Robots' are computers that search engines (e.g. Google) use to read web pages. 'Spiders are the same thing.
