Can anyone explain to me how I’ve managed to achieve the feat of gaining five new followers on my fiction blog in the last two days when I haven’t posted in six days, and haven’t had a single view in four days?
Here’s a pretty picture taken from Dover Castle to make up for the fact that this is a one-sentence post

Actually, WordPress recommends blogs. That is how I found you!

That’s wonderful! But don’t you have to click on my site in order to follow me from the recommendation link? If so, then I should see a view. If not, then that explains it!

No, you can follow directly from the reader, so no view is necessary.

And it always boggles my mind how I can have more visitors than views. I get having more VIEWS than visitors, obviously one person can be hopping all over my blog and returning. But how do you get a view without a visitor. And how i have ( i’ll pick a random number) say 5 visitors from 7 different countries. WordPress stats are just off. I try not to pay attention to it much.

It’s frustrating, isn’t it? I tell you, some of these visitors have really fast planes. 😉

Syndicated views in readers don’t show up on the stats page. Could that be it?

What are syndicated views as opposed to regular views?

Regular views are directly on your blog. Syndicated views are through an RSS reader or WordPress’s reader.

Ah, I see. Well I knew people could follow me with one click from the reader. But the chances of me showing up there after that many days was pretty slim, don’t you think?

True. It could also be that some visits aren’t being registered.

That happens to me sometimes as well, especially on Twitter where I’m lucky if I tweet maybe a couple times a week (my feed there is mostly links to my blog posts).
