  Hey guys – I was just wondering whether the stat graph that shows how many visitors have been to your blog per day is a unique hit count, or adds up every time someone refreshes the page?

  Thanks

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

  The stats are based upon unique hits and page views

  @T3ck
  Page views is right on but I noticed that the support documentation on stats adds more clarity.

  Can I track other details?
  WordPress.com stats do not track unique visitors, countries, IP addresses, or other details. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

  A page view is a request to load a single page of an internet site that results from a page request from a web surfer clicking on a link on another HTML page which is pointing to the page in question.

  A unique visitor is access from a single IP to a web server that generates page views and hits during a particular visit. When a visitor has cookies disabled, there is no way of establishing if they are a unique visitor or not.
