  If you go to my site, (kuplevatsky.net) you’ll see it says 413 followers under e-mail. If I go to Stays and e-mail followers, total says 6. Which one is right?

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

  This is where you find your WordPress.COM followers who may read your posts in the Reader (including Publicize followers from social networks) https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers

  This is where you find those who follow by email only

  Yes, I know that. But on the site itself as a widget, it says 413 e-mail followers specifically. With the Admin panel in e-mail followers, it says only 6 e-mail followers.

  Our stats are not real time stats and take hours to update. I assume this could be a caching issue.

  Hi Mike,

  Please note that the 414 followers includes your Twitters followers and Facebook friends because you added the Twitter and Facebook Publicize connections. So your Twitter/Facebook followers in addition to your WordPress.com followers is 414.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
