"Visitors", in my experience, usually means page views. It does not,
however, necessarily mean unique user sessions. If one person comes to your
site and views 10 pages, marketing folk tend to count that as 10 "visitors"
since, theoretically, it could be from a public-use machine and there could
be 10 different people viewing those 10 pages.

Iztok,
That is usually sales speak for hits. If you have a page with 10 images on
it, each view is a hit (total of 11 for that page). I only start
respecting numbers like that when they say Page Views.
