    If someone visits the site 3 times in a month that would count for one visitors and 3 visits but when the visitors reports on monthly,quarterly and annual basis.then, it is called unique visitors.

    Well between both of them, there is a big difference, which is there itself in your question, "unique"!!! If you check out in the dictionaries you will get the meaning too :p
    BTW all the pros have already explained you it above in different ways ;)

    Unique Visitors – The number of individuals who have visited your website. But, if a person on a dial-up connection disconnects and reconnects, they will be assigned a different IP address and therefore be counted as another unique visitor if they return to your website.
    Visitor – The number of visitors who have visited your website. But, again, if that person has dial-up, everytime they disconnect and reconnect, they will be considered a new visitor.

    If person comes to your site once in while than he is an unique visitors, but if person comes on your site on a regular basis he is a regular visitor. Search tracks all this info by your IP addres.

    Unique visitors = Unique visitors

    Visitor: is total amount of people who visit your site. If any person visit your site two times your visitor will be 2.
    Unique visitor: if any person visit your URL 2 times it unique visitor will be 1.

    I think this is difference.

    Unique is always unique. First time when something is explored it is unique. Later on as usual.

    If a person visits your website 10 times in day, then the Number of visitors is 10 and number of Unique visitors is 1.
