    When I visit the one of my site Google analytics dashboard (new version), I see there visits and visitors. So, I want to know what is the difference between visits and visitors?

    Visits vs. Visitors

    Analytics measures both visits and visitors in your account. Visits represent the number of individual sessions initiated by all the visitors to your site. If a user is inactive on your site for 30 minutes or more, any future activity will be attributed to a new session. Users that leave your site and return within 30 minutes will be counted as part of the original session.

    The initial session by a user during any given date range is considered to be an additional visit and an additional visitor. Any future sessions from the same user during the selected time period are counted as additional visits, but not as additional visitors.

    Search Google for "What's the difference between clicks, visits, visitors, pageviews, and unique pageviews?"
