Merely Curious – My stats show quite a high number of clicks

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello all,

    My blog has been live for approx 1 week now and my stats appear to be higher than the average (I’ve beenr reading up on some stat threads around here). I am not complaining about this, merely curious.
    I know there is a note on the footer stating it does not include our own visits to the site however I suspect it may as it seems I get quite a few clicks/hits. I think this might be the case also as I am quite a perfectionist and feel the need to check how the page looks after editing. So I really do think some of it are my own visits.

    Can someboedy confirm for me whether or not it does include our own visits to the site?

    Thank you much :)

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

    Excuse the spelling/grammar errors. I can’t find how to edit at this stage.
    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi there,
    Unless you are logged out of wordpress.com your own visits are not being counted. In the event that you gave been logged out and your visits have been counted then do understand that there is no way to remove them from the stats. Aside from pointing what’s in the support documentation we Volunteers can provide zero help on this issue. Please see this support entry for details > http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

    Ah that makes alot of sense, I would have been logged out at times.
    All good, not complaining about the stats at all. I seem to be going well given the fact I’ve not had it for very long.
    Thanks for the response timethief.

    PS. I had a good read of your blog before actually opening my wordpress.
    Very informative!
