Stats clicks link doesn’t make sense

  • Unknown's avatar

    I just noticed on my stats page that there’s a link under “clicks” which is very odd. It’s the ~/wp-admin link to my sister’s WordPress blog. That link isn’t on my blogroll or anywhere in my blog, of course, so nobody could have clicked on it and made it register on my stats clicks. And although I did have her blog link on my blogroll initially, it’s been hidden for a good week now (mentioning this just in case that there might somehow be a connection between blog access and the admin link.) I have no admin access to my sister’s blog, and nobody but myself has admin access to mine.

    The only questions I could find in the forums about odd stats clicks have to do with the theme designers, and mine obviously isn’t that. Help, please… what’s going on?

    Your sister was visiting your blog and when she left she left via her dashboard. This makes her blog admin link show as a click in your stats.

    Ok – go look at your stats again. I just visited your blog and left the same way. You’ll see my blog dissfunktional with a like kind link in your clicks as well.
