  Hi everyone,

  I recently heard that there is a news stats tool under development and that many blog stats of wordpress bloggers aren’t real. How can I know if my stats (hits) are real? Finally, if a visitor visits my blog more than one times does he count as one in my blog daily hits or as many times as he visited the blog?

  Thank you,
  NewsAura (http://newsaura.wordpress.com/)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  yeah i read about it before i posted this. I haven’t got any “1 view day” so far but my stats jumped from 150 to 1500 in one day. Is that a real increase?

  I’d assume so, yes. You can normally figure out where they’ve come from by referrals and search engine terms?

  I’d love to have my stats jump from 150 to 1500 :-)

  But yeah, you can check it out by looking at the breakdown of your stats.

  It counts every visits, but do not count while you’re on your blog.
