Users in Wordpress

I created a blog, and implemented Aweber & Google Analytics to track hits and sign-ups. However, I know I have a Users section within Wordpress, and it currently lists 150+ users that I've never seen, or have hit Aweber / or any analytics. How are these Users identified and tied to my blog? Is it people who have Wordpress accounts who view my blog, or something else?

Hi Justin,

As i recall a User is the next level down from contributor. Somehow who logs on and views your blog. I could be anyone who logs into the site but not necessarily people signed up to Wordpress however to be a contributor you'd need to be signed in a wordpress user.
