Traffic Counter
-
It seems that my traffic counter is working improperly. Today I had a certain number of likes and that amount was not reflected in my traffic. I am aware that someone can “like” a blog that one has written without actually visiting their page. I just found that it was an unusually high number of likes with a very odd low number of visits? Has anyone experienced this technical problem?
Thank you.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as in email and the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.
Consider this please: If you provide full posts in your feed then what incentive is there for any readers to click into the blog and create a page view stats?

That’s described in the post I linked to.
You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here > Settings > Reading
and choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed or the “full text”.That does not affect the length of the post displayed on the front page or main page for posts on the blog. To create excerpts there we can split content by inserting “the more tag” http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
