How are views calculated

  • Unknown's avatar

    I was wondering about how the stats work. Yesterday I had one of my posts added to the webstite I-am-bored.com to allow me to get more views…

    Looking on the site I can see the Link got 1700+ hits, however my views only increased by about 100….

    So this does not make sense to me,

    Can someone help me understand???

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    I see that you got over 32,000 hits on the 19th and over 9,000 on the 20th. If readers are clicking on to your site that will count as a view.

    Please note that stats are not counted in real time. If they don’t look right, check back in a day or two to see how they have added up.

    Let me know if you have any questions with this!

    Okay I should state that the 32k and 9k views were weird… but I traced that back to one of my posts that was linked to a search topic on a Russian website…not sure who or how that happened….but thats not the views I am referring to…

    I was just wondering about the the views logged for yesterday 21 Jan….

    Like I mentioned, I tested what the effect of me, creating a link to a post on a site like i-am-bored.com would do to my views. On the site I can see that my link recieved 1700+ hits, and that would make sense to me that I would have recieved 1700+ views extra, however this did not reflect on the stats?

    AM I missing something regarding what actually counts as a view?

    I’m not sure how that site counts views and it may be different from the way we calculate them, so I wouldn’t read too much into that. But as long as the readers are clicking onto your site, that would be considered a view in your stats.
