I wonder if Posterous is also aggregating all "views" of a post, not just individual page views to that post. So, for example, the "Page View" count in Posterous could include views from your homepage, archives, rss and permalink page.
I have noticed this as well, but haven't looked too much into it. I trust Google Analytics more anyways.
- qeorge 16y agoPretty sure you're right. So following on what you said, if someone views the index page of a posterous blog that would count as a view of all 10 posts listed. Quite a strange methodology. I wouldn't call it dishonest, but its certainly unorthodox.
- derefr 16y agoFrom flipping between the management console and my blog homepage a few times, that seems to be exactly what's going on. It's also a bit disappointing (though not surprising) that it doesn't drop hits from the admin user.
