Site stats not updating accurately
-
I made a new blog post on Wednesday, Feb. 4th and since then, my statistics have not been updating accurately. They showed a single reader for my new post, although I had more likes and followers on the post than that within less than an hour. Since then, I have only had 1-2 viewers showing per day, of which I cannot judge the accuracy.
Is this a common problem? How might I go about fixing it?
Also, if I do, will the views from the past week be corrected, or will it only be corrected for the future?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.
