Does Aid Another count as a hit?

Does a successful aid another action count as a hit against the target? For instance, if an orc drudge uses aid another against the battlerager dwarf, does he gain temporary hit points?


AID ANOTHER: STANDARD ACTION
Attack Roll: Choose a target within your melee reach and make a melee basic attack vs. AC 10. If you succeed, deal no damage, but choose one ally. That ally gets a +2 bonus to his or her next attack roll against the target or to all defenses against the target’s next attack. This bonus ends if not used by the end of your next turn.

Battlerager Vigor
Each time an enemy hits you with a melee or a close attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (after the attack is resolved).

If I trust you posted the whole aid another text (too lazy to look it up) then I would say no.

While aid another is definitely an attack (its got an attack roll, even says melee basic attack) it doesn't say the target is a creature. So you are attacking, but are not hitting a creature, and so don't get the benefit.
