number of email followers is incorrect
-
I can’t see all my email followers on my blog statistics. How do I fix this?
http://loembos.wordpress.comThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I now see that the widget says I have 154 followers (wordpress + email) but on the blog statistics I only see 26 wordpress followers and 6 email followers. Can anyone explain this?

As we do not receive any notification when any email followers choose to unsubscribe we do not have accurate counts of how many there are.
You cannot personally identity anyone, unless they choose to use their actual name in their email address, and many of us do not do that.
Your WordPress.COM followers including Publicize followers are found here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers
Your email only followers are here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email

Yes. Your followers here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers includes social network followers if you use Publicize https://en.support.wordpress.com/search/publicize/

Our stats are not real time stats and take time to update. There are frequent fluctuations that most do not notice because we aren’t watching the process. For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and here https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-and-visitors and note the views and viewers take hours to update.
Our stats are page view stats. But please do not assume that everyone who clicks a follow, like, share, reblog or comment link actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.
Follow, like, share, reblog or comment clicks are not page views. In fact, follows, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats.
Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts and “comment” in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat. Subscribers control how frequently they receive your posts (instantly, daily, weekly) and can comment without clicking into the blog.
Logged in visitors using a mobile can read the full post without creating a page view stat. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-reader-show-full-text?replies=31#post-1373606
You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here Dashboard > Settings > Reading. Choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed rather than to “full text”. That will compel followers who are not using mobiles to click into the blog to read the full post which will create a page view stat.
