Se consideran usuarios únicos las personas distintas que han visitado un sitio en un determinado lapso. Por ejemplo, se pueden medir "usuarios únicos en el día", o "usuarios únicos en el mes", que, ya que un usuario puede visitar un sitio diariamente, no son cifras proporcionales. La forma en la que se determina si una persona es distinta a la otra es guardando la dirección IP [protocolo Internet] de la computadora desde la que se conecta, por lo que esta medición en realidad es inexacta si se piensa en "personas". 2, record 2, Spanish, - visitante%20%C3%BAnico
