number of visitors
-
The number of my visitors doesn’t go up: eventhough my blog is liked in 5 different countries today I’ve only had 1 visitor.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If I visit your site and click to read 10 posts then what is recorded is 1 visitor and 10 page view stats. Read Views and Visitors https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-and-visitors
Our stats are page view stats. If I visit your site and click to read 10 posts then what is recorded is 1 visitor and 10 page view stats. Read Views and Visitors https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-and-visitors
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.
