  Recently my statistics page has not been correct – I’ll sign in to show several likes or comments on my posts, but my statistics indicate no views of my pages – there’s no way this can be correct! It’s more a vanity thing – I like to know which posts are being read the most – does anyone have any suggestions?

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

  For clarity likes and shares numbers 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. Those who have username accounts only but no blog can become followers and click the “like” and/or “share” buttons. Those who do not have accounts cannot use the like button. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats/

  If lots of people were reading certain posts on my blog repeatedly, I wouldn’t call it a problem. You’re probably simply ranking well in search engines for some term, or someone linked to your post directly.
