Site visit numbers
-
I know for a fact that 4 different people visited my site today, but my count for the day shows 3 visitors and 12 visits. I know the visits increase every time a page is loaded or refreshed, but it seems like something if off today. Does anyone know what’s going on?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Our stats are not real time stats. For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and note the views and viewers take hours to update.
Also note that those who follow your blog in the Reader or by email don’t have to click into the blog unless they wish to. Likes and shares and comments and reblogs and follows are not page views. In fact, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely 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 “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat.
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 > 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.

Thank you so much for your response. I guess there’s no real way to know how many people see my posts after all. Ha

So did I. I wish I could do the same with the notifications that are sent to my blog’s followers.
