    Hi there,

    Our stats are not real time stats and take time to update. There are frequent fluctuations that most do not notice because we aren’t watching the process. For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and note the views and viewers take hours to update.

    Our stats are page view stats. But please do not assume that everyone who clicks a follow, like, share, reblog or comment link actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.

    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.

    Also note that when visitors click the social network sharing links on your own blog posts those stats are reflected in the numbers on the relevant icons below your posts. However, if they share the posts anywhere else that is not reflected in the numbers below the posts.

    Timethief has given you good advice here. Please let me know if you have any followup questions.

    I seem to be having a similar issue. When I’m in LinkedIn, I see that a post has 35 views over a 24 hour period…yet, for the same post on WordPress i see 4 views that are associated with Facebook.

    On my report/statistics dashboard page for ‘Publicize’, only Facebook and Twitter show and not LinkedIn. However, when I go to the ‘sharing configuration’ page all three show as active and working. Is it possible that because LinkedIn is not shown on the ‘Publicize’ list that those views are being excluded from the reporting?

    The stats on Linkedin refer to the number of people who saw your Linkedin post, not the number of people who clicked on the link to read your post on WordPress.

    In linked in i got almost 200 views in the last 2 days

    These views are not registered in stats

    The stats for views on Linkedin and stats for views on WordPress.com get counted separately. If you send me a link to your linked in post It can show you the difference.

    thanks for the explanation. I was working under the assumption that the LinkedIn user must clink the post to see the post…and that click was take the user to my blog site. (that’s how i worked when I tested it). That makes more sense though.

    Thanks!
