    Our stats are page view stats. https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ If I visit your blog and click into 10 posts that will be recorded as 1 visitor and 10 page views. But please do not assume that everyone who clicks a follow, like, share, reblog or comment link actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.

    Follow, like, share, reblog or comment clicks are not page views. In fact, follows, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats. That is because your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts and “comment” in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat. Subscribers control how frequently they receive your posts (instantly, daily, weekly) and can comment without clicking into the blog.

    Logged in wordpress.com members can read full posts in the wordpress.COM Reader now, so there is no incentive for them to click into your site.

    WordPress.COM social networking sharing icons display the number of times people visited the actual post/page and clicked to share it. WordPress.COM does not have access to the share counts for shares made on the social networking sites themselves.

    I have had a website for years and only have 20 followers. Nobody ever makes a comment about a post. What’s wrong with my website? Is it the topics, the look, the video posts, or what? I originally started the website to write about Science Fiction and to drive traffic to my two Science Fiction books that are currently on Amazon.com and Smashwords.com.

    However, I would like more followers and readers who make real comments and not just spam. Take a look at my website https://srreed.com/and tell me what you find wrong that I could correct to make it more appealing to a reader so that I can get more followers and views.

    Thank You
    S. R. Reed
