Tracking number of visitors

I need some advice on what is the best way to implement number of visitors tracking mechanism.

Many suggest to use IP Address. However accoding to me it's not really accurate, especially in the case some users accessing the net via same proxy server.

I have an idea of using session id.

If particular visitor can have unique session id during their active session, then logically this can be used as accurate way to track the number of visitors.

pls give some feedback.

thanks.

Session-based is a fairly common way.
