What counts as a view and/or visitor? email notification to subscribers

    I have email subscribers to my blog who receive an email every time I post. The email contains the full text/photos of the post so when they open the email they can read it. When they open the email does that count as a view and/or visit. I am wondering because they aren’t actually going to my site. My son says maybe I should set the email notification to include just the first paragraph of the post so they have to open the actual post to see the full thing? Is that what I should do and if so how do I change the setting to show just the first paragraph?

    Hi there,

    No, that doesn’t count as a visit. They need to open that post on your blog for their visit to be registered in your stats.

    My son says maybe I should set the email notification to include just the first paragraph of the post so they have to open the actual post to see the full thing? Is that what I should do and if so how do I change the setting to show just the first paragraph?

    You can do that by breaking your content with the More block. Here’s how to configure that:
