Q: What’s a unique hit?

A: There’s a lot of traffic tracking on the adult Internet. Page counters track traffic. Adult sponsors track affiliate referrer tags. Web analyzers like Alexa track your site’s performance on the net. It’s all about the hits baby.

You probably already know a ‘hit’ is netspeak for a visit to a webpage. Your site received two thousand visits today, which means your site got two thousand hits. However, tracking methods (such as downloading cookies to a user’s machine) can determine if your visitors are new or if they’ve been to your page before. When a surfer visits your page for the absolute first time, they are known as a unique visitor or unique hit.
