I remember some talk about "unique visitors", but lo and behold; when poking through Webalizer I can only find a number for "visitors" - should these two be regarded as the same (couldn't possibly be)? And if not, how do I find out? None of the logs seem to show any such thing as unique visitors... Or am I blind as usual? :look:

TIA.

*scratch* Does nobody know? I've asked in several places and noone seems to be able to answer... Or is the question too silly? :blush:

I don't think we have the same versions of webalizer, but I'd think visitors would refer to total people who came to the site per day, no matter how many times they come.

I always assumed that visitors was unique visitors, because theres number of hits too, which would be what Chicken is talking about (I think).

AFAIK hits in webalizer only refers to successful requests for individual files, and not hits as in visits... After reading through the documentation over at MrUNIX it'd seem that a visit is a series of requests concurrent enough to be regarded as requests from the same person (IP ought to count as well). This still doesn't help me... Some advertisers want to know the number of unique visitors and I'm still stumped as to how to find those numbers.

Every different ip is a unique visitor.
