    In what context? Do you mean in analytics?
    Visitors are the number of people who looked at your site.
    Visits are the number of times someone looked at your site.
    Visits may be a higher number as a visitor can make more than one visit.

    This is a funny question , so I'm going to give a funny answer :

    Visitors - how many people entered you're house today ;
    Visits - how many times or how many rooms those people visited today.

    From SEO point of view, there is no crusial difference between these two terms. If your web site is VISITED and is quite POPULAR - your chances to promote your website successfully increase.

    Visitors = individual people visiting a site ( often referred to as Unique Visitors )

    Visits = the number of time a site is visited

    So you may have 100 people (100 visitors) go to your site in 1 day, 10 of those people may visit your site twice, so that would be 100 + 10 = 110 visits to you site

    In real terms you are likely to see numbers like this

    488 Visits
    254 Absolute Unique Visitors

    Visitors for SEO it’s count as a unique traffic that means when some one visit your website in a day then it's count Visitors it's catch by IP and Visit means that person/Traffic can visit your other pages like if you have 10-1000 page he can but that case SEO it would not count as a unique Traffic it will same person from same IP. If I wrong please excuse me!

    Technical definition of a visitor:
    Technically, a visitor is the browser of a person who accepts a cookie. Opentracker utilizes 1st party cookie technology. By this definition, a visitor is a human being, and their actions are 'human' events, because only humans use browsers (with javascript) to navigate the internet. If a cookie is not accepted, then we use IP numbers to track visitors.

    Technical definition of a visit
    A visit happens when someone or something (robot) visits your site. It consists of one or more page views/ hits. One visitor can make multiple visits to your site.

    In SEO view, both are having same importance. Visitors who visit your site again & again it means there is something important for them.
    So, makes visitors high.

    I can say that today I had 100 visitors. Right, but the visits by the 100 visitors shall be more than 100. Visits may be 1000 , more or less.
