my site is private but I'm still getting new viewers
-
My site is on private and I haven’t invited any viewers, yet I am still getting new viewers. How is this possible? I don’t feel my site is secure like the privacy settings claim it to be.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What do you mean by
I am still getting new viewers
Are you getting emails/notifications that you have new followers?
When a blog is set to private, if someone who is not a viewer goes to your site they will get a screen that states you need to request access to view the blog (looks like this) When I try viewing your blog that is what I get.
Could you be getting access requests?

Every time a person clicks a private blog URL that stat is recorded but the visitor cannot see the content. They see only this:
https://eurogradtrip.wordpress.com/ is marked private by its owner. You can:
Request access to view the site. We’ll send your username to the site owner for their approval.
Log out and sign in as different user. You’re logged in as ‘timethief’.
Learn about privacy settings. -
Also if a site is Private – you will see your own page views in the stats while logged in (in a public site your logged in page views do not count)
