Do you understand the difference? A hit is everyfuckinggoddamnthing on a Web page: If your logo is sliced up into a thousand GIFs, every GIF is a hit when that page loads. If there are a hundred thumbnails on the same page, every thumbnail is a hit with the page loads.

A single vistor can genarate thousands of hits just fucking around. You want unique visitors to your site, not hits.

So I dunno. The company might be great. But myself, I would want to know how many unique visitors I'm getting for my money.
I understand your point....if we were talking about server logs that would make sense.

But there's no possible way for someone else sending you traffic to know how many "hits" your logs would register for every visitor they sent you....so what they're calling hits is most likely visitors.
Uniques can be defined in different ways so I'm not gonna go there.
