You may also notice that your visitor count lags behind your views count. This is due to the way we are currently crunching the numbers. Typically a view is reported within five minutes, while it can take up to two hours to report new visitors. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-by-country

Hope this helps.

This makes a total of 8 unique visitors visiting my page (at least) since 1 person from like sweden could make 5 views. Yet my stats say: today visitors: 3 with 22 page vieuws. Can somebody explain this to me or is it bugged? Thank you.

For example 1 visitor 3 views. Later, in the same day, I'll come back to see Z visitors and Z views. For example, 7 visitors and 7 views. I'm afraid I'm getting incorrect or incomplete data since it's suggesting that at one point, at least one visitor viewed multiple pages, and then later in the day, no visitors viewed more than one page.

I would really appreciate help figuring out how to make sure I'm getting correct real time data as we're in the process of moving our blog to WordPress and still trying to figure everything out. Thank you,

Raincoaster - that's interesting, but it doesn't really explain why I suddenly got 10x as many hits as normal. Or does it? Am I missing something? This all happened over about a three hour time span and then my traffic went back to normal.

Clearly, you google lightly for an image like that somehow, and I believe what this might reflect is that Google Image Search is one "person" as long as the person doesn't click through to see the blog page.

It might be due to the fact that some visits or views don't get recorded as from countries - because my total from countries is usually less than the total of views. Maybe this is where readers use phones etc. I don't know! I can't even try to get my head around the math. I think WP continue to fine-tune things. So I regard my stats as an approximate indicator.

The visitors count is delayed - we've been told - behind the views count. It takes a few hours or a day for it to stabilize. So you might find at least 5 visits for that time, later on today.

Always nice to learn a bit more, how it works, however!

So far, I guess, I understood the difference between visitors and views, sounds actually pretty logical to me.
BUT during the last hour, my stats say I had 1 visitor and 24 views, but from 5 different countries...??! I don't get it.. How's that even possible?

Appreciate any help or advise, thnx!!
