do my views count?
-
heres the problem i opened up this new blog a couple days ago, on 7th july i published my first post and have just published my second today but the stats seem a little weird to me
for the 7th i got 3 view and 3 visitors, the 8th i got 1 view and 1 visitor and the 9th (today) out of nowhere i got 19 views and 4 visitors? i dont know if its legit (if it is thats pretty amazing). but i feel like its counting my own views because i had done a lot of editing on my second post and frequent going back and forth from editing to checking my site to see what its going to look like
so does wordpress take into account my own views? id just like to know so i can get an accurate stats reading?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you are logged in your page views are not counted. Also note that we cannot reset stats here.
Our stats are not real time stats and take time to update. There are frequent fluctuations that most do not notice because we aren’t watching the process. For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and note the views and viewers take hours to update.
Our stats are page view stats. 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
You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here Dashboard > Settings > Reading. Choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed rather than to “full text”. That will compel followers who are not using mobiles to click into the blog to read the full post which will create a page view stat.

i just didnt understand as i posted a link on facebook and twitter to my new blog and it only says 2 came from facebook and 1 came from twitter, yet i have 19 views and 4 visitors, it just didnt make sense to me im new to all of this.
also i logged into another account and went to my home page, and then went back to check stats and it counted the view straight the way, so was just confused as it couldnt have been me bumping up the view count but didnt understand how i just got 19 views seemingly out of nowhere
