Hi @cno29,

Yes, the views from your site get registered on the stats counter, here is the quote from the Stats support page:
```
Do Site Stats include my own visits to my blog?
Only for private blogs. For users with private blogs, your Site Stats page will show any visits that you have made to your own blog, as well the visits of other users who have access to your blog.
```
All your visits get recorded on a Private blog. Also, just to confirm which is the URL you are looking for help? The reason I ask you is the link which we have –– amongolianpencil.wordpress.com is a publicly available.

Hope this helps, let me know for any other information.

Thanks!

And If my own views are recorded in the stats counter, my current location where I viewed the blog is also recorded?

Hi @cno29,

Apologies for the delayed reply. Thank you for the details further.

Your blog is a Public blog, which is visible to everyone. The information I provided above was related to Private blog, which is not the case.

For a Public blog your own views are not recorded, as stated on the link to the stats page provided your above:
```
The following are not reflected in your stats:

Visits to uploaded documents and files
Visits from browsers that do not execute javascript or load images
GoogleBot and other search engine spiders
Visits you make to your own publicly available blog (when logged in to your account)
Visits by users that are logged in, and listed as members of the blog
```
Hope this clears your question, let me know for anything else.

Thanks!
