  Hi there,

  Thanks for clicking my topic. Indeed, I need help.

  Just curious, today I got notification. Notifications, exactly. 8 or 9 likes on my post from different user. And some of them are following me too. But when I see stats, today’s view only 1 or 2 or 3. 1 2 or 3 view, but in the same day I got more than 5 likes. How could it be? Are my visitor a ghost?

  Here is my blog farefinger.wordpress.com , so, anyone?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat. See here for what I do to compel readers to read posts on my site > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats

  Also note that those who have gravatar accounts but do not upload an image can still click like buttons and there will be no gravatar displayed.
