  Good evening,

  I would like to know if there is another way to get more information about visits to free wordpress sites. We have the country and visitor navigation on the sites but that’s it.

  Can we see the IPs? Is there protection against bots?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi there,

  GoogleBot and other search engine spider views are not calculated into your Stats:

  The following are not reflected in your stats:
  Visits to uploaded documents and files
  Visits from browsers that do not execute javascript or load images
  GoogleBot and other search engine spiders

  IP address information is logged by WordPress.com, but is not available to site owners.

  As part of collating the above information, Stats uses data like IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, and country code. However, none of this information is available to site owners. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Furthermore, the Stats logs, in which this information is stored, are only retained for 28 days.

  For more information, please see this page:

  Hope this helps!
