  When you view the site states does the total number include the times you have visited your own site or just other people? I’m trying to get an accurate reading.

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

  Please see the stats section where this is explained in detail:

  The following are not counted:
  Visits to uploaded documents and files
  Visits from browsers that do not execute javascript or load images
  GoogleBot and other search engine spiders
  Your own visits to your blog (for logged-in users of public blogs only) http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

  If you were logged in when you looked at it then no, but if you were not logged in then it would count. This is what I have figured out from my couple months of blogging.

  For stats on private blogs see here please:

  Private blogs, which can be viewed only by users chosen by the administrator, now track the page views of all of their users. Traditionally we have omitted the views attributed to a blog’s own users because stats were meant to reflect the activity of the general public. However, this meant that private blogs had no useful stats reports. This change will be especially useful for private blogs that have many users. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/watch-your-traffic-grow-with-sparklines/
