  Hi,

  This post: http://7irz.wordpress.com/2011/07/18/beautiful-night/

  Has been submitted to:
  Digg: http://digg.com/news/offbeat/painting_made_from_blue_jeans
  & StumbleUpon: http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/7irz.wordpress.com/2011/07/18/beautiful-night/

  If you check the links and if you have access to my blog stats you will find out that the page visits do not match; Digg and SU visits did not all count for some reason (only 50 views in stats), why?

  Best regards,
  Thanks

  Your views seem to be recording correctly.

  According to StumbleUpon, you only have 3 visits from them, which certainly adds up.

  Digg doesn’t record visit, just how many people hit the “Digg” button, so there’s nothing to really compare with over there.

  Thanks for the prompt reply (as usual :) ),

  Solid point about digg … I assumed people would at least visit a page before digging nothing but thumbnail … but I guess they don’t!

  I think there might be something wrong with StumbleUpon? I use su.pr (via stumbleUpon) to track the clicks here is what I got: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/28/suprep.jpg/

  In addition, the stumbleUpon counter at the bottom of the page shows a similar number.

  Again, I think there might be something wrong with stumbleUpon’s counter, but this is still a bit confusing, don’t you think?

  Thanks again!

  Yeah, I think something might be wrong with su.pr actually.

  The 3 views that StumbleUpon is reporting so far matches what we have in our stats for views from StumbleUpon.
