count of views and likes

    There is always a difference between the count of views and likes today fore example 23 likes and 9 views. i think every like should count one view.

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

  • Hi there. Views are only registered when someone actually loads a page on your site in their browser. When people read your post in the Reader (i.e. without clicking through to your blog) it doesn’t count as a view.

    People can also like posts directly from the Reader without even reading your posts, and this isn’t counted as a pageview as they never loaded your site in their browser. Sadly this is a technique used by spammers to try and get you to look at their sites – they browse the Reader and simply mass-like every post they find. For that reason I never click on a like notification – I’m not rewarding someone with traffic if they in all probability didn’t even bother to read my posts.
