  I am new to WordPress and just have a general question:

  When I look at the statistics to see how many people have looked at my page, say I had the number 60. Does that mean that 60 individual people looked at my page, or just that the page was opened 60 times…potentially by the same person multiple times.

  If it is not individual viewers, is there a setting I can change in order see how many INDIVIDUAL people have looked at my page/articles each day?

  Thanks for the help :)

  There is no tracking of uniques (individual viewers) that we receive reports of on our site stats pages. The stats are page view stats so every time a page is viewed a stat is created. You can read more at this link > http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ We can run third party non-Javascript tracking on our blogs. Scroll down to Visitor Tracking on this page.
