  I have been usually averaging between 20 to 30 views on my page and starting yesterday I noticed a HUGE increase in views, however when I click to get details it is saying that 95% of them are coming from WordPress.com Referrer. It also doesn’t add up with my “page views”? Is there a known bug? :(

  Example:

  Today: Page views 435

  WordPress.com referred 425 of them

  Total views referred by links to your blog 427

  Total views of posts on your blog 10

  Thank you for any help! :)

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

  I’m having the same issue. WordPress.com referrals are not matching up with page views.

  Same here – what does that wordpress.com referral even mean?
