  Hi – I have many who have accessed my blog but there are no stats reflecting visitors and hits. I have not changed anything. Is something amiss?

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

  Stats can be delayed by hours and don’t reflect many things. They are a guideline at best and should never be considered completely accurate.

  Thank you. This is the first time there’s been a delay on my stats and I’m a new blogger on WordPress.

  Traffic is always very low during this season of the year.

  Continuing from where left off note that WordPress.com stats are not real time stats. They are cached and take at least a couple of hours to “catch up” by displaying what has happened.

  Another thing to be aware of is that 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.
