Advantages of buying a domain?

Can I ask, in regard to buying a domain name…
What will happen to my followers (either WordPress or email)? Will the email followers still be emailed any posts I make? I’m not going to lose followers when I buy a domain name, am I?
If people are not followers but have bookmarked the wordpress URL, what will happen when they click on it, will they still get sent to my new URL or not?
Thanks

You’re not going to lose followers, because the old URL still works; it even works for all the new posts you write. They have both whatever.com and whatever.wordpress.com URLs.
If you set the new one as primary, that’s the one everyone will see when they’re looking at your site, regardless of which one they have bookmarked.

pekepenguin, do you find it a problem to access the Japanese with a western server? Or are you using the .com and your URL? Is your site in English and Japanese? And why is your audience Japanese? This would be very helpful to me. We are setting up a blog and twitter account and can decide if we need to have two blogs – one Japanese and one English (personally I like seeing both languages and would like to see a comments in one place in both languages. But I have read so much about bots looking at blog and not preforming well when their are two languages. Would love to hear a first hand experience instead of all these people building business IT sites.
THANKS

Your posts explain why my reader stats took such a dive after I bought the domain. I was really enjoying those higher numbers and then poof. ..they just plummeted. I suspected that had done something.
Four months, huh?
Long time to wait for things to pick up again. :)
Just discovered Reddit though and that’s helping.
