  Not sure if I am putting this in the right forum, but how do stats work when you have multiple authors? The FAQ says it does not count hits when I (the admin I presume) am logged in, but what about editors, authors, contributors? Are they all in the same boat as admins since they are logged in also? Just curious.

  As I understand it, if the viewer is logged in and they have any sort of access to the backend (ie: Contributor or above for that blog), then the page views don’t count.

  Ok thanks mike. I figured as much just wanted to hear it from the people in the know. So the best way to truly get a hit count then is to use something like sitemeter i presume? Any previous threads on free meters?
