Well, in certain cases, a high page views per visitor means more value than alot of unique visitors..
What I mean is, if a site decided to boost there ranking hundreds of percent in just a week or so, they can buy one of those "10,000 unique hits for $10." kinda thing.
But those visits will only have 1 page view per person. That shows no value.
It's better to have a fraction of those visitors if there actually browsing the site.
Even with the growing technology of the internet, there are only 2 major sources to somewhat show the value of a website...
Alexa, which could be a tool to get hits, assuming the site has a high rank.
And Google
PR, which is a tool to get streghnt for a particular keyword and not usualy for direct traffic.
Unless you want to share your inner analytics to everyone.. This is what we have.
So for now, we must use those 2 ranking systems to at least give us an idea.
As a guideline and not a set rule.
