So more people could be visiting the site than are counted?

actually on topic, since its about an orchid website, LOL!!

What does 'unique visitor' mean? Supposedly the AOS Pacific Central
website
has been getting an average of 1469 'unique visitors' this year, and I'd
like to think all this traffic isn't just me doing my webmastering
chores.

So is a unique visitor a different web address each time? And how do it
know? Email addresses?
