I’m not sure what you mean… How do you know it’s not tracking that page?
A page with multiple posts on it like that won’t show up in the list of “Top Posts & Pages”. It’s neither a Post nor a Page, as such. It’s the “front page”, which is special and shows lots of posts.
So, while the hit will be counted for the overall impressions, it doesn’t count as a “Page” in terms of stats.

I guess I don’t see why not; it IS a page because it is within the theme’s page structure. it is annamayer.com/news. On my stats page it shows impressions for the front page, so I don’t understand why it wouldn’t for this page? people have to click on a link to see it. We would like to know how many people are clicking the link to choose that page. Is there a way to have “News” show up under “Top posts and pages”?
also, would you have any ideas on this possibly related issue?

Hey, I’m just telling you the way it is. The main blog page is not a “Page”, it’s the main blog page. It’s special. It all has to do with the query.
Every time you get a Page or a Post, a query is executed for that specific Page or Post’s content. A single entry like this has a Post ID. That is the number used to track these for stats.
But groups of posts don’t have a single post ID. Anything that shows a LOT of posts has a default query with more than one post on it. And this does not have a single ID and so it does not get tracked as a single entry. It gets the ID of zero and only counts for overall impressions.
The fact is this: The page shows multiple posts, therefore it is not a single post/page as far as the stats system is concerned.
