Are statistics true?

  • zuzanaslaba · Member ·

    Hello,

    My last article has a lot of sharings…

    Today I can’t see any visits of my blog in statistics but there are two more sharings of my article. Is it possible? Or is it some mistake?

    Thank you.

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

    Hi @patronka,

    There are a number of factors that determine whether or not a view/visit will show up in your analytics. The following are not reflected in your stats:

    *Visits to uploaded documents and files
    *Visits from browsers that do not execute javascript or load images
    *GoogleBot and other search engine spiders
    *Visits you make to your own publicly available blog (when logged in to your account)
    *Visits by users that are logged in, and listed as members of the blog

    Do you know if any of the aforementioned scenarios were true when your article was shared? If you are not sure then I would suggest you try again keeping the aforementioned scenarios in mind. You can read more about statistics and how WordPress.com processes the numbers here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

    I hope this information helps! :)
