Some days bring in as much as 18 views, others bring in 0, you just happened to have a few of those 0 days in a row this time.

I want to strongly emphasize sharing your blog with your friends and family. If they like it, they'll share it with their friends, and so on.

in the past week, the site stats for my wordpress.com website have plummeted to zero and remained there. even though mine is only personal site, zero views - for an entire week - would be highly strange. any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

thanks

I was attempting to install a Blog Stats Plugin at http://www.longhaulpartner.com and experienced the above Fatal Error message. I can no longer access the site at all; doersn't even show up on Google now.

Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Thanks so much,

I'm having a kind of strange issue with stats.wordpress.com service. I use CSV data to show popular posts in my blog:
http://stats.wordpress.com/csv.php?api_key=MY-API-KEY&blog_uri=MY-BLOG-URL&table=postviews&period=week&days=2&limit=25
That URL returns CSV data with most viewed 25 post and pages for last 2 days. Everything but "post_permalink" looks alright.

You can see a sample CSV on Pastebin. Most of the values for "post_permalink" column are missing or show wrong URLs. i think the problem is in the service and not my installation, you can try it for yourself with your API key and blog URL.

Is it just me or it applies for anyone? Can someone confirm the service is responding with wrong URLs?

Cheers,
Valentin

Basically, I wold like to know what constitutes a good number of visits a week, month, quarter, etc.

Thanks!!

While managing my Comments via the "[Blog address here].wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php" webpage of my Dashboard, I accidentally hovered my mouse over the "author_comment_url_[Comment ID number here]" element (which is next to the "remove_url" class element) and saw a screenshot of the Comment Author's site.

I was logged into my primary weblog as Administrator at that time and expected no blog stats would be counted while previewing my own site from the "Edit-Comments" webpage.

Can you fix this area? Because my blog stats won't properly reflect activities done by others.

Thanks.

P.S. To the Staff/Mods, please move this topic to the appropriate forum if necessary.

Oh my! There is something eerily Facebookish about the DECISION MAKING PROCESS at WordPress. And it's gotten way too old in a jiffy. How old? Well, for me try three times in a space of 3 years: three times of dealing with the fall-out of well-intentioned (but poorly executed changes) at WordPress. The sequence is almost identical.

Is someone learning from all of this?

I AM.

@ TeamOyeniyi: Yes, I have been away for a while. So I am thinking that the "Infinite Scrolling Saga" must have happened during that time.

I have been around WordPress since 2008. While it is still a great "freebie" in a manner of speaking, one has to think twice or thrice now before investing serious new content. That whole Poppressed Ads saga gave me serious pause for the cause. So yes, I AM kinda holding some of my goodies back while weighing my options.

For those of you who may have not seen the announcement deep within your administrative console it simply says:

"Starting soon, your stats page will be on the WordPress.com homepage only. Check it now (on link button). Now with 100% more country stats."

Is this a calculated move on the part of WordPress, born of the belief, on their part, that the gains for the company are gonna be more than the losses?

I am as calm and collected as a cucumber in an alpine cave. I just wanna know.

Yes, it IS WordPress sandbox and yes the platform is free and all that, but I am at a point where my relationship with WordPress needs reassessing because I don't wanna log in one day to find that different "body parts" of my blog are in different parts of the WordPress domain. The Poppressed affaire, when it comes to arbitrary action, was strike number one:

http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/the-other-poppressed-ads-problem-the-shock-of-seeing-actual-ads?replies=53#post-593645

This figurative decapitation of a huge part of the administrative console is strike number two, right inside the sanctum sanctoram where all the goodies come from.

To say that I am a bit disoriented by the prospect of this change is an understatement. WordPress, my virtual landlord is moving my furniture while I am at work and it looks like I don't have much of a say in this.

My fury is tempered by the real politik underlying this relationship. But I am very aware of what I bring to the table. There is content, then there is content (remember the adage of the new cyber millenia: "content is king"?) Some of us do write serious content that ranks pretty high on Google web and image page rank; something that has potential for more if we feel that we are being treated like valued tenants, if nothing else. We could be woefully deluded here. It is quite possible that like Bank of America and or Wells Fargo, WordPress has made the calculus that some of us are dispensable. I am perfectly fine with that if that is indeed the case.

P.S. And oh, by the way, the bundling of the stats-by-country schtick with the enforced move of the stats page, smacks too much of the carrot and stick stratagem on the part of WordPress. To use another metaphor it smacks too much of how bakers use olive oil when feeding you dry pieces of oil. You can already get the historical country-by-country breakdown on if you know how to poke around:

Just enter your blog/webpage in the search window and go to town.
