  How do I make facebook clicks count into my blog’s stats?

  I like the stats provided by WordPress, I have created a page of my blog in Facebook, I see “xx impressions” appear in my Facebook page, however, I would like those cliks into my posts, to also count in my stats.

  Is there anyone out there who could help me with this?

  Thanks!!

  Hi. I see the topic hasn’t been responded by one of the volunteers. If you haven’t solved the problem and if you still need assistance, I suggest you contact staff directly: http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Write anything in the search engine, click on Search, then say you have not found the answer to your question. THEN the contact form will appear.

  If someone clicks from Facebook onto your blog, then it IS counted. If they just read your blog on Facebook, it isn’t, which is why I always recommend only posting an excerpt, not the whole post, on Facebook.

  TKS a lot raincoaster!!

  I was using the wall instead of the link option… hoping they would read and click to go to my blog, when I use link in facebook, it will go as you said.

  I will do as you say!!

  Good luck! It works for me: Facebook is probably my number one referrer.
