  Hi,

  I would like not to have my own views counted in the WordPress visitor stats. How do I do this?

  Thank you!

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

  If you are logged in to WordPress.com and your blog is a public blog your stats are not being counted. If you have a private blog they are being counted.

  The following are not counted:
  Visits to uploaded documents and files
  Visits from browsers that do not execute javascript or load images
  GoogleBot and other search engine spiders
  Your own visits to your blog (for logged-in users of public blogs only) http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

  Private blogs, which can be viewed only by users chosen by the administrator, now track the page views of all of their users. Traditionally we have omitted the views attributed to a blog’s own users because stats were meant to reflect the activity of the general public. However, this meant that private blogs had no useful stats reports. This change will be especially useful for private blogs that have many users. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/watch-your-traffic-grow-with-sparklines/
