4. TERMINOLOGY
Visits: Users coming to the site. One visit might have
multiple page views.
Unique Visits: Some users may come back multiple times.
This measures how many unique users came.
Page Views: The number of pages viewed on the site.
Unique Page Views: The number of unique views by
individual visitors.

5. TERMINOLOGY
Bounce: Is the measure of a visitor arriving at a page on
your site and immediately leaving. Their entrance page is the
same as their exit page.
This is the most confusing because google Allows you to look
at this metric in some irrelevant ways with averages.
Exits: The number of visitors who leave the site after this
page. This could be a link to another site, or simply close the
window.
