The My Stories website lists 1,053 views whereas the item details in ArcGIS Online lists 1,220 views.

How accurate are both of these numbers? It would be useful to know how much we can trust these numbers.

Hi Patrick. I'm not sure what accounts for that difference. May just be the system catching up. For example the item page gives you a more recent view count than the ArcGIS Online search results listing. Plus when you look at an ArcGIS Online item page to see the number of views, that actually adds a view to the count (so it is a bit like the Observer Effect in Physics).

Note that the ArcGIS Online item page, also has a usage button that gives you a usage chart (if you are the owner) (not present if you are using ArcGIS Public Account).
