Are visitors stats on a weekly report all uniques?
-
Are the number of visitors In a weekly stats report, all unique? For instance, as the owner of that blog, I went on my LinkedIn account over that week and clicked on the LinkedIn post (I placed earlier that week) with the link to my blog post. So I may have visited the blog post seven times over that week. My stats show that I cumulated 13 visitors (making 43 views) in that week. Does that mean that seven of those 13 visits were from myself through LinkedIn? I could not find out the weekly total of referers coming from LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. on my blog. Is the only way to see the latter cumulated for the whole week is to go on each days’ stat and add those manually (very cumbersome)? Not clear to me.
Thank you for your prompt reply.

It seems to me from your answers timethief and @raincoaster that Uniques are not really uniques. For instance, if person A checks the post with his laptop then again on the same day with his smartphone (or other mobile device), it counts as two visits. Those two are not really UNIQUES right? Plus as owner of a blog, WordPress stats cannot exclude my own visits that I did to my blog reached through my LinkedIn post that week (seven times over seven different days in my case).
It makes me wonder what the praise was all about in the forum last December about getting uniques on WordPress stats?
