We recently noticed the counter feature wasn't behaving consistantly and determined that it was only incrementing when you visited the month page. So, if you were subscribed to a journal or clicked from the Recent Entries page directly to the entry, your visit wasn't added onto the counter.

We sincerely apologize for the hits that were not counted. The counter has been fixed, so most likely you will begin seeing the counter rise much faster. Again, sorry for the problem.
