  Hello, I am having a hard time understanding the new visitor counts. It is showing only 2 visitors with 29 views, and 8 referrals from other sources. Does it only count new visitors? It seems unlikely that I could get 8 referrals from other sources, for only 2 visitors, and since at least one of them I know to have been a repeat visitor, I also think 2 visitors would not have made 29 page views.

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

  !. Stats are not real time, they can be delayed by hours.
  2. Each stat section may be updated at different intervals, so they may not add up at any one time.
  3. Stats may not ever be entirely accurate. They’re really only a guideline.

  It means only 2 Unique Visitors from different IP’s, 29 Views means as it says …..

  and 8 referrals i think means the path through which you may accessed your own blog (8 different routes) …..

  Thanks, this helps to explain why I had 2 visitors to a post that supposedly had about 20 views and already 3 posted comments from people in different states! Not sure what “unique” visitor means…”first time?” As mentioned, the three who commented are not from the same geographic area, so I would think having the same IP would not be possible.
