What is the difference between hits and unique visitors?
A hit to a website is when something on the website has to load. If a web page has 6 images on it and a person visit that page, it will receive 6 hits because of every image that needs to load.
More accurate statistic to describe performance of your website is the number of visitors or unique visitors. Visitors are the number of people coming to your website. Unique visitors measure how many people visited over a set period of time.
So you can see that a "hit" is not a real accurate measure. The "visitor" count is much more accurate to indicate the popularity of a website.

Why can't I update my own website?
Once you have your website up and running you may be wondering how you can make changes to it yourself, without having to pay a web designer. You can only do updates on your website if you purchase website editing software or if your website is complete with a Content Manage System. You must know what you are doing before you try to edit your site! The thing that many people don't understand is that the tools you use to edit your website are less important than the skills to use them.
