    Hits represent the total number of requests made to the server during the given time period (month, day, hour etc..).

    So basically it's the total of everything viewed regardless of whether it was a human, or a crawler.

    I think the best things to look at are average unique visitors per day, average new visitors per day, and average repeat visitors. Bounce rate is very beneficial as well since it's great to know if the content they arrived at is leading them to other parts of your site.
