A small doubt. What's the diff between hits and no of visitors?
Which is more credible in terms of gauging poularity of a blog?

Visitors. Hits are everything a browser loads. So if you have a page with a stylesheet and a banner you get 3 hits for that one page (the browser loads the page, stylesheet and banner). So hits don't really tell you anything.

Really neither hits nor visitors are a good gauge but visitors is probably the best thing we have. As Kathy K pointed out, hits don't mean much at all. Visitors are people who load a whole page, there are also visitors who load the rss feed - this won't register at all. Now I don't know any better measurements but I am happy to consider them. In the meantime, the visitor pages are just fun.
Out of interest, the way I read most sites is via the RSS feed which is why I am aware of it. Given recent discussion about feeding css via rss, maybe it would be possible to feed a html-only counter as well.
