Problem with followers seeing my posts

  At the current time, I am set up to get a Daily Digest in my email for every blog I follow. There are blogs I follow that have new posts on a daily basis that I NEVER get a Daily Digest regarding their blog. I also never see their posts in the reader. They think I don’t like them any more.
  With that in mind, I am sure that my posts probably do not always show up in the Reader or in some of my follower’s Daily Digest emails.
  As with the other wonderful posters above, none of this has anything to do with tags, categories, misreading stats, etc. Any advice regarding the actual problem would be so gratefully appreciated.

  About the like issue ‘pellymade’ is referring to: Readers may like your post without visiting your site, for example on the Reader. Since they didn’t actually visit your site, liking a post in this way does not count as a visit. If they did visit your site, then it’s possible that the stats don’t reflect that because of the numerous reasons listed here. Also note that we are working to reduce the amount of spammers who are liking blogs to direct traffic to their spam sites. Some of the reduction in the volume of your likes may be due to that.

  One of the major reasons why your site stats could get a drop is because Google Images recently changed their interface. Before, when a visitor clicked on an image they saw in Google Image Search, this loaded your site’s page and counted as a visit/view. They’ve improved how they display results so that viewing only an image no longer triggers a page view in your site stats.

  But, I’m thinking we’re getting a bit sidetracked here because some of you address different issues. Please send in your question separately by e-mail and feel free to refer to one of your replies from this thread so you don’t have to retype everything.

  Thank you.
