No if your getting 5,000 daily traffic that's what it is, Daily traffic. Your probably getting about 2,000 Unique Visits. Let's say your on your site for 2 hours. You probably visit 50 pages. That counts as 50 views but only one Unique view as it's one unique person. Your Unique Views will always be lower than your Daily Traffic.
The reason DJ Norix replied the way he did was other have left links to relevant articles explaining what Unique Views are in more details but you haven't seamed to bother reading them. It's a pretty standard question and very easy to Google the answer too if your not lazy.

Their is no site that allows you to view unique views for any site as that's your personal and confidential information how your site is doing.
Their are lots of sites that offer you a piece of code that you can add to your site and they track your details for you in a secure and confidential manner. The most common of these is Google Analytics. The other alternative is to turn on the statistics in cPannel in your hosting if it's available. That will track page loads (total views) as well as unique views (total number of unique visitors) as well as various other stats.
Due to several reasons I won't go into here neither are exact in their details but they do give a fairly accurate account of the traffic on your site. I'd advise a combination of both to get an accurate idea of your traffic.

Use extremetracking to see your "real" unique visitors. Google Analytics sometimes does not count some users.
No it's not "real". I said I didn't really want to go into it and confuse the new guy as it's just going to confuse him but no tracker is exact.
Basically Extremetracking uses javascript like Google Analytics and therefore won't record all uses. You just hear that Google Analytics doesn't count some users as it's more popular but it's exactly the same case for Extremetracking.
It's nothing to worry about though as their still fairly accurate and give a great indication of your traffic.
For the new guy awstats what Flash mentioned is the statistics thing I was on about in cPannel

Uhn k, anyway extremetracking and awstats shows 150 visits (average) more than analytics in my case :P
What the hell do you think we've being doing? We've being telling you what Unique Visitors are and the best and most accurate way to track them in an easy to understand and follow manner. Your original question was answered ages ago and we're expanding on the best way to track the visitors.
Wow that reply has really pissed me off. Try and help a guy who obviously hasn't a clue and get given out to for lecturing. If your not able to handle the replies try searching in Google for the answers.
