Two quick questions regarding traffic stats: Views & Visitors, & email subs

    Hi,

    I’m just coming up on 250k views and want to understand somethings I haven’t previously bothered with.

    Regarding the stats page:

    1: Can anyone explain the difference between Page Views & Visitors? Each visitor looks at one+ page (The views per visitor stat seems to be between 1.25 & 1.9. Is this average, good or bad?)

    2: Where do my email subscribers get counted? If they were the difference between views & visitors I’d expect that number to equal my email subscribers.

    Thanks for any help.

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

    Visitors v views = one Visitor can View more than one post.
    The averages are just that, averages. Many people can view one thing and one person can hang around and look at lots of things, unless you know exactly who is doing what those stats are just an entertainment.

    Subscribers get counted just the same as everyone else, just because they subscribe doesn’t mean they have looked on any given day so the views are just the people who have looked at your blog regardless of where they came from.
