stats are including my own while signed in

  • Unknown's avatar

    My stats are counting my own views, and yes I’m signed in. I know for a fact it’s counting my own views, since this particular blog is private…. only I can access it. I thought WP wasn’t supposed to count your own hits while you were signed in? Am I wrong about this?

    Not sure, but it might also be doing it on my other public blogs as well. What’s the deal with this? :S

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Yes your visits are included in the site stats for private blogs and that began last August.

    Private blogs, which can be viewed only by users chosen by the administrator, now track the page views of all of their users. Traditionally we have omitted the views attributed to a blog’s own users because stats were meant to reflect the activity of the general public. However, this meant that private blogs had no useful stats reports. This change will be especially useful for private blogs that have many users. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/watch-your-traffic-grow-with-sparklines/
