  My views are not adding up to my likes and follows for the day. I uploaded a post and have received various emails saying bloggers have liked and followed my post, however my WordPress stats say I have 1 visitor and 3 views. Anyone know how to fix this?

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

  users can LIKE and FOLLOW your blog from the READER without visiting your blog.

  From my experience, any person that LIKES a post/page from READER are either doing that to bookmark it and read it later (because it appears in http://wordpress.com/#!/activities/) or they are just SPAM Liking, to show their blog icon on your blog to drive traffic to theirs; only small part of the post is viewable from the READER, so it’s likely a SPAM like.
