How can new followers be higher than viewers in one given day?
-
For about two weeks now, I’m being “assaulted” by a relatively high numbers of people who subscribe themselves as followers to my blog. In theory, it’s not a bad thing but I find kind a strange that people who recently follow my blog are wordpress bloggers whose blog subject’s have nothing to do with mine (Photography). Also, the number of new followers is even sometimes greater than the number of viewers on a given day. How can this be possible?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Easy, if they’re coming to your blog via the tag reader. Reader readers don’t count as viewers.

In order to create a “page view” the visitor has to actually click into the blog. Note Likes and shares are also 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 in email and the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.
You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed to compel visitors to click into the blog to read your posts by changing the setting here > Settings > Reading
and choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed or the “full text”.That does not affect the length of the post displayed on the front page or main page for posts on the blog. To create excerpts there we can split content by inserting “the more tag” http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
