Post hits get counted the same was as page hits, so they ignore robots and any other exclusions you have setup in the settings page (like IP address ranges, administrator or other accounts).
I’m not familiar with AtContent so I don’t know what it does, but as long as it hits the post on your site and hasn’t been excluded it should count.
P.S. this was the right place to ask the question 🙂

Hi Greg! Thank you for the response. AtContent is basically a platform where users can view published posts of other users they follow on their AtContent feed, instead of heading to the blog directly. So the posts I publish on my blog will automatically appear on the AtContent feed as well. Does this count as a post hit? I get many Visits a day but it doesn’t seem to correlate with the Visitor count, so I suspect it might have something to do with this.
If AtContent doesn’t load the content from your site each time (and it doesn’t sound like it does), then they won’t count as hits.
On the other hand visits and visitors usually do no correlate directly (with the exception that visits should always be greater than visitors).
This is because a single visitor may have multiple visits to the site (aka they load more than one page on your site). Usually this is considered a good thing as it means you retain your visitors for longer the more pages they load.

I asked about the posts on AtContent and found out that they store a copy of the blog’s content directly on AtContent.com (with a backlink, canonical and no-follow tags), and load the content in reposts from AtContent.com. Does this count as a post hit?
Thank you for being so patient and answering my questions!!
No sorry, your site never gets a visit in that case so WP Statistics will not count it.
Since our code is never loaded there’s no way to count it.
