  my site statistics are wrong, it is claiming i’ve had no views but ive had several likes of posts and followers of my blog today. It’s done it before this week i’ve had emails saying people have liked or commented and no views. What’s going wrong?

  Likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.
