  I do not think stats for my blog are being counted correctly. I posted a new article on my blog today and from the WordPress “Likes” (I have received 2 so far) as well as responses I have had via email and Facebook I already know of 4 visits/views to my blog today yet the stats information is showing that I only have 1 visit and 2 views.

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

  Before your do that be aware 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.
