NOTICE: I am no longer maintaining this plugin. Jetpack does not provide the necessary functionality to reliably and easily update post views for more than 500 posts. I am tired of trying to hack a solution that ultimately doesn’t work. If anyone wants to continue to maintain the plugin feel free to download the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack-post-views/developers/" rel="ugc">code</a>.
A plugin that displays your most popular posts using Jetpack stats.
Jetpack Post Views is a plugin that lets you integrate Jetpack stats into your site. Jetpack is a great plugin that lets you track information about your blog, but it doesn’t give you access to this information so you can display it to your visitors. The most common information users wish to have access to are the number of views for a post.
Jetpack Post Views gives you access to this information. This plugin adds a widget that lets you display your top posts by views according to Jetpack stats. As an added bonus, this plugin adds this information to the post meta of each post, allowing you to display those stats anywhere on your site.

<h4>PLUGIN DEPRECIATED</h4>
Now, we are finally convinced that GOOGLE ANALYTICS stats and tracking systems are uncomparably superior (which also comes as other plugins, i.e. we like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/" rel="ugc">Google Analytics [by MonsterInsights]</a>) over useless “POST-VIEWS” plugins, because these drawbacks: 
– There are tons of bots, crawlers, search or aggregation engines, that view your websites and pages daily, and “view your posts”. That ends up in fake/boosted “Post views” dramatically. 
Beside bots, many people just …: 
– people open the pages in the background and close them without reading at all 
– open the pages, but close while site is still loading 
– open the pages, but close quickly, under 1-2 seconds, without reading your pages.. 
– and many other reasons.
All these actions still increases the Post-views counter. So, to say decisively, such numbers are not of any real help, instead they just mislead site-owners and their decisions..
<h3>… What is solution?</h3>
We praise Google Analytics (or alike) tracking systems. This is what they are made for ! This is the field, where they know what to do. Just state-of-the-art. They give you statistics not only of page-views, average duration (seconds), Realtime , but other tons of statisctis, which gives you realistic information about your posts and website, to make correct decisions.
YOU WILL NOT REGRET.
Just spend 2 minute to sign up for Google Analytics, get the code and use “Google Analytics” plugin.
