  I have just published a blog on wordpress.com (my first on this platform) and I am having some trouble understanding the stats provided on the admin page.

  What constitutes a “view?” I have something over 310 “views per day” for today. The two posts with the most traffic account for 125 views between them, and there just doesn’t seem to be much else that people could be viewing. So, how do I reconcile the 310 with the 125?

  TIA

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

  A view is a view on your home page, your page pages, your category pages or tag pages or archive pages or search result pages. Page views (a real page that is) and post views are separated in the stats, views of the home or category or tag or archive pages are not, but they are counted in the total. A view on your home page is a view in the total number of views but not a post view.
