  Hi,
  I really want my blog to be private, and I thought I did the right things to make it private,
  but when I’m looking at the graphs I have a lot of viewers, but I also have ‘visitors’. But i’m really concerned, can just everyone just see my blog?
  Because I did all I could, invite people, they make an account etc.
  And when I post something ‘private’ my invited people can’t see it. So I have to chose ‘public’. But in the adjustments I chose to keep my blog private. So I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

  Thanks

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

  Private blogs count logged in users, Public blogs don’t

  Jetpack Stats

  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.

  So the ‘views’ I have, are just my own visits to my blog? Or what is the different between visitors and viewers?
  I don’t understand, can you please answer my question ‘Can anyone, persons I don’t send an invitation to, see my blog?

  Thank you so much

  http://joliennuyts.wordpress.com/ – is private – only those you invite can see the blog – log out and try it yourself

  Anyone you invite into the private blog counts as a visitor or page views
