When I look at Statistics and see unique visits I feel like I am kidding myself to believe that information. Is a unique visitor really unique or is it rolling IP's and the like? How believable are these stats?

Usually they have some distinguishing feature like a 5th eye or 11 toes on one foot or the other. Statistics where Eric? I would guess rolling IP's would fool it. This is very common, the recent virus uploaded every single file using a different IP for each.
