Hello there,
The Blog Stats widget Widget displays the total number of views to your blog (not including your own views).

See this site stats section for more stats information too. -

That’s correct. re: Hits, Page Views, Unique Visitors
What is a hit? In web analytics, a hit is any request for a file from a web server. By request means a hit calculates page content delivered, all images to complete that page, and any additional files that need to be loaded to make the web page you are looking at, appear the way it does.
What is a page view? 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.
What is a unique visitor? 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.

My question is along these lines as well..
I set up a blog that is restricted and invitation-only. There are only about 12 people that have been invited to view it and only 1 has registered to do so…the blog is THAT new…
..however, my blogcount is showing 90+ hits already in the first 12 hours and it is SUPPOSED to be restricted to invite-only.
So where are these hits coming from?

@leftcoastcanuck: I see you already asked your question to staff, which was the right thing to do.

@leftcoastcanuck: I just remembered: you do know that on a private blog, your own visits count, right?
