  I am getting likes, so I know my blog is being read, but my stats are showing zero clicks.
  Is there a problem with the stats?
  I have a logged off and back on, but the stats are not updating.

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

  Our stats are not real time stats. They take a few hours to update. That said, likes and shares 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 in email and the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.

  Consider this please: If you provide full posts in your feed then what incentive is there for any readers to click into the blog and create a page view stats?
