  This makes a total of 8 unique visitors visiting my page (at least) since 1 person from like sweden could make 5 views. Yet my stats say: today visitors: 3 with 22 page vieuws. Can somebody explain this to me or is it bugged? Thank you.

  Our stats are not real time stats. The data is cached and takes hours to update. See here for more on stats > http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

  You may also notice that your visitor count lags behind your views count. This is due to the way we are currently crunching the numbers. Typically a view is reported within five minutes, while it can take up to two hours to report new visitors. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-by-country

  Hope this helps.
