  This happened again. I have multiple “like” from real bloggers of my latest posting. Each of these “like” should be counted as one view, right? However, view count in the Stats doesn’t reflect that. What went wrong?

  My blog: http://farawaypeachgarden.wordpress.com/

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

  Sorry but that’s not the case. 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.
