  Hi,
  For some articles I can see that the number of visits is smaller than the number of facebook likes that they received.
  How is it possible, as facebook likes can not be made from the reader? (or can they?)?
  Thanks a lot,
  noa

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

  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.
