    I share my posts in my FaceBook page Yerelce. One point drew my attention: For the post https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yerelce/196976280389902?fref=nf
    +60 people reached (click) but does not appear in my blog stats! Can me explain me why.
    Thanks for your kind attention.
    Cordial greetings

    Hi there,
    Our stats are page view stats. They 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. Provided you are logged in when visiting, your own views are not recorded on any public blog you registered. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

    Please do not assume that everyone who clicks a like button actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.

    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/Gravatar account 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.

    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 > 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.

    As explained in the relevant support doc:

    The Facebook followers count includes all friends of a connected personal profile or all likes of a connected Facebook Page.
    Twitter followers counts exactly that: all followers of the connected account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#totals-followers-shares

    Regarding the Facebook issue, are you referring to the stats at the bottom of your posts? If so, those are not the same as page views on your blog. That just refers to how many of your Facebook followers have seen your Facebook post. That does not translate to a page view on your blog. In order for the page view to register, the reader would need to click through and visit your blog.
