  I want a check done to see if the Stats of my blog is proper. I get too many reviews about my blog personally and via mail as compared to what the stats shows. I am unsure of the way it works.
  Blog url: http://randomnerves.wordpress.com/

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

  Have you read this section on site stats in the support docs?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

  For clarity likes and shares numbers are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat. Those who have username accounts only but no blog can become followers and click the “like” and/or “share” buttons. Those who do not have accounts cannot use the like button.

  Oh. Thanks a lot. I should have gone through some of the help topics before impatiently contacting support. Thanks a lot for such a quick response. :-)
