I believe that views on my blog are NOT counted or registered by your system

    While I launched my site a year ago I have been an active user for less than 2 last months. I was soon inching toward some success with the average of 5–7 visitors per day. My best day were Feb 23–13 viewers and March 12 –17 visitors. And the last 4 days 1-2visitor/s per day only. I don’t believe it is true. Why? Because I interestingly advertised the site on LinkedIn and twitter a got many likes for some posts on my site; the posts one could see only by going on my site. Yes, I do know that the majority of the LinkedIn members LIVE TO ‘LIKE’. But I am talking about the minority : serious people who would not ‘like’ anything unless they actually saw it or read it. What could be the reason of this bad math on my site? Malfunctioning of my laptop? Some fault on the part of word press? Please answer asap. Thanks in advance. MY site address is: BozenaSawa.wordpress.com

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

    Our stats are page view stats. https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ If I visit your blog and click into 10 posts that will be recorded as 1 visitor and 10 page views. But please do not assume that everyone who clicks a follow, like, share, reblog or comment link actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.

    Follow, like, share, reblog or comment clicks are not page views. In fact, follows, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats. That is because your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts and “comment” in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat. Subscribers control how frequently they receive your posts (instantly, daily, weekly) and can comment without clicking into the blog.

    Logged in wordpress.com members can read full posts in the wordpress.COM Reader now, so there is no incentive for them to click into your site.
