I thought people on this thread might be interested in this new conversation about generating reliable proper statistics to learn more about this great community of bloggers: http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=8364
Is this still happening?
I too have observed lots of discrepancies between votes in Indiblogger,visits, actual comments and further traversals within my blog.
Some readers obviously on seeing me as a new person here, take their time to read posts which I hadn't put through Indivine and some even commented. They are the genuine readers. But I am not so sure about others who vote.
While it might take a lot of effort to control this problem, I only ask the bloggers in my network to read whatever post looks good to you and then give a vote if it is really good. A comment would be more appreciated. I am not very particular about Indiblogger rank/votes as after 7 years of blogging, it is now that I decided to expand my reader base and mingle with fellow bloggers. I joined mainly because of the various contests and prompts that help keeping the river perennial and cleaner as it keeps flowing.
If the bloggers maintain their dignity and purpose, the blogosphere automatically would be enriched with quality contents eventually.
Sometimes the visits from Indiblogger to my site on a given day are less than the number of votes on the post. Clearly people just click "Promote" and then close the post before it opens 
Ramchandran's idea of anon voting will certainly help. No one wants pretenders.
