private blog still getting viewed

    I’ve noticed that I’m still having a visitor view my blog both today and yesterday even after setting it to private, and both are multiple views by one 1 visitor. What may be going on? Is there a way to see the IP, to see if it is in fact just coming from my own views? I thought that might be the case yesterday, but I logged in today to check the stats and it said I had 6 hits today from someone and I had not viewed the website at all.

    Thanks!

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

    Hi there,

    When your site is set to private, your stats will indeed be reflected whenever you yourself visit and view the site – no one else should have access to the site unless you have invited them to view the site.

    I checked your stats here and despite having several views, they all came from the same visitor – it was most likely when you were on the site. When was the last time you would say you visited the site?

    Let me know – but I’m sure its just stats from your visits. Thanks!

    The last time I viewed the site was Aug 23, but I had 6 views when I checked the stats page Aug 24. Does simply logging into and viewing “Blog Posts” or ‘Stats’ page count as views? Because I just did it again (without going to the actual blog website), and it went from 0 to 2. It says Referrers is 2 from WordPress Reader as well.

    Yes, if you visit a blog post, it will count towards a visit in your stats.
