    A Hit is an action that happens on your server (image loading, page loading).

    A Visit is what happens when a unique visitor visits your website.

    For example: my website had 30,000 unique visitors, 42,000 visits among them, and 1.5 million hits on the server.

    Hope this helps

        May be ur site rank is increased in Search Engines, May be you are attending to discussion in forums with signature that points to your site blah blah blah...

        You can use google analytics or piwik.org/ (recommended) for analyzing daily and monthly visitors, bounce rate etc.

    you must install google analytics to know the reason of traffic, from GA you can check from where you are getting traffic.

      when traffic come on your page the image loading, page loading, is called hits
      and visit refer to when a new visitor comes on your site stay on your site.

    When someone's visitting your website, he is just watching it...

    When he clicks in an ads in your website he's making a hit.

    The more visits you have, more ratted will be your site.
    The more hits you get, more money you will get from what he's hitting (in case of ads)
