  The syndicated view total does appear to be correct on my blog. I have 858 subscribers, per my stats page (increasing fast). I post once per day, with Stats showing only roughly 50 syndicated views per day.

  Overall traffic is steady. The total of subscribers and syndicated views per day don’t seem reasonble.

  Please advise.

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

  Hi Fabius – The syndicated views show how many people have viewed your blog through an RSS feed. You can read more about this here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/#feed-statistics

  This is different than your blog subscribers.

  Thanks for the explanation. I read that page, but didn’t correctly interpret it.

  (1) So views from WP subscribers appear in the “on site” views total?

  (2) Does the “syndicated views” track most (all?) of the traffic from feeds?

  Hi Fabius – The stats measure anyone who actually visits your blog. So, subscribers might visit your blog, or they might read your content through emails.

  The syndicated views tracks how many times your post was loaded in an RSS reader.
