  One day I decided to look what is supporting statistics which blog owners can see at the Stats page. So I looked into HTML and found that primary statistics provider actually is http://www.quantcast.com. I navigated to that site and found pretty good tools to measure various parameters and facts about my audience. The only problem is the most interesting sections of that report is closed and “could be viewed by owner only”.

  So my question is how quantcast.com can recognize me as a legitimate owner of my blog?

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

  Quantcast doesn’t record per-blog stats for users. It’s used by WordPress.com to track some general site-wide stats.

  The blog stats on your dashboard is provided by WordPress.com. It’s not powered by anyone else.

  Your reply kind of opposite of what I can see when I navigate to the Quantcast link:

  http://www.quantcast.com/alecpojidaev.wordpress.com

  I cleary can see it’s per blog statistic and all information is related to my blog.

  Don’t bump threads just to up your own readership. You’ve fundamentally misunderstood what’s going on, and made a big blog post about it. Do you REALLY want to show that off?
