  My stats are not accurate
  Hi, I am receiving notifications that I have new followers on my blog (both via email and in my WordPress notifications tab) and also that people have liked my posts, however, when I look at my stats they are not showing any views from the country those people are in and the stats are showing no new followers. Is there any reason why this could be happening?
  Thanks

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

  WordPress.com stats are not real time stats and that means they take time to update. Likes are not page views. In fact, likes and shares are 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 “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.
