  If people subscribe to your blog and get a new post embedded in that email, does it count towards your Site Stats? IE, if you’re trying to up Site Stats and Page Views, why wouldn’t you want people to visit your site as opposed to “losing” all of those views via email?

  They do not count towards views as the user isn’t actually viewing your blog.

  At Settings -> Reading you can set your feeds to show just summaries (short excerpts) of your posts. This setting also affects the email subscriptions and may encourage folks to visit your blog.
