 * My stats had always been on the 500-1000 range. Ever since the latest update,
   it dropped to <35 views. What could be the reason behind it?

 * WP Power Stats 2.0 uses a completely new accurate method to detect only human
   visitors.
 * Previous higher numbers were due to robots and bots scanning your site.

 * Gosh. So despite excluding robots on the previous version, the stats weren’t 
   accurate?

 * Yes, the previous version could not detect all robots. Only some of them. Nowadays
   there is a ton of bots scanning wordpress sites: search engine crawlers, vulnerability
   scanners, caching servers etc.
