  I received a notification May 3rd I received the most likes in any day. In the announcements it also showed who liked which posts. There were several viewers of each of different posts. My WP stats for that day show only one visitor looking at one article. Why the difference?

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

  Hi christopherstcyr,

  Readers can like posts without visiting a site, by viewing them in the Reader. This doesn’t show as a view in your stats because they haven’t visited the site directly. Views are only counted when the URL is visited or if someone views the full post in the Reader.

  We have some more information about how these stats are calculated here:

  Jetpack Stats

  I hope this helps.

  That helps a lot. My big take away is many more people are probably reading my posts than are shown in the sites stats. Thanks.

  Chris
