 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to make sense of the simple stats I receive now that I’ve hooked up
   my Powerpress plugin to the free Blubrry account.
 * If I’ve setup Powerpress correctly, anyone who comes to the page and clicks either
   the player or one of the provided subscribe links (Apple Podcasts, etc.) will
   be counted, right?
 * What about people who go directly to iTunes and subscribe/listen without having
   come through the site? Is it correct to assume once I’ve input my iTunes link
   in Powerpress that those stats will transfer as well?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsimple-stats-question%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Any time someone clicks play on the embedded media players on your website, downloads
   a file thru your website, or streams/downloads thru a third-party platform like
   Apple Podcasts, that will be tracked in your Blubrry stats.

 * Great. Thanks. That’s what I was hoping for, as it makes sense, but wanted to
   make sure.
 * To be extra clear, for example I setup a SmartURL to point directly to the various
   platforms ([http://smarturl.it/drinkswithmom](http://smarturl.it/drinkswithmom)).
   Downloads resulting from clicks there will still be reflected via Blubrry stats,
   correct?

 * It looks like the SmartURL page is linking to third-party platforms such as Apple,
   Google, etc. If anyone clicks thru to those and downloads/listens to episodes
   that way, those downloads will be tracked in your stats. No concerns there.
