Do my followers count toward my views?
-
I was wondering if my followers are counted in my number of views. In other words, does 50 followers automatically equate to 50 views? I don’t see how that could be the case when my followers can read my new post via an email on their cell phone screen without actually going to my site.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and here Views and Visitors https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-and-visitors and do note that both the views and viewers and views by country https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-by-country take hours to update.
Our stats are page view stats. If I visit your blog and click into 10 posts that will be recorded as 1 visitor and 10 page views. But please do not assume that everyone who clicks a follow, like, share, reblog or comment link actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.
Follow, like, share, reblog or comment clicks are not page views. In fact, follows, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats.
Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts and “comment” in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat. Subscribers control how frequently they receive your posts (instantly, daily, weekly) and can comment without clicking into the blog.
Logged in visitors using a mobile can read the full post without creating a page view stat. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-reader-show-full-text?replies=31#post-1373606

*replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your site.

That’s what I needed to know. I’m just trying to get a better handle on how all this works. Thanks for the quick response.
