  Hello and good afternoon. It seems that I’ve landed myself on the block list or some other limited visibility category. A couple of days ago I made an article about the movie 50 shades of gray, as a therapy professional I referenced some of the psychological terms relevant to the movie such as sadomasochism, bondage etc. immediately after posting this article my site has become mostly invisible it’s a very evident downward trajectory I altered some of the keywords and words within the post in hopes of not exploring any such topics again. I’m hoping to resume normal visibility- any help is very greatly appreciated.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  revivingmindstherapy.com is a self-hosted WordPress site. As such, there is no “blocking” or limited visibility category that we at WordPress.com could place it. Have you looked into your traffic stats to see where the drop off in traffic is coming from?

  Well perhaps then it’s this, according to other forums there are such things as limited visibility. Could my blog have save become flagged like if you’re reading something x rated at work and you aren’t able to enter the site because of the categorization of the site. Does that make sense?

  Those things can happen on a WordPress.com site, but we have no control over self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  Now, as you mention, there is netnanny software that corporations can use and yes, it is possible for a site to get “flagged” by those.

  You may have a WordPress.com site, but http://revivingmindstherapy.com/ is not a WordPress.com site. Your WordPress.com site is not actually visible to anyone because visiting it redirects them to http://revivingmindstherapy.com/.

  I’m sorry this makes little sense to me

  The site you are seeing when you view http://revivingmindstherapy.com/ appears to be hosted by GoDaddy using the WordPress software that is available on WordPress.org.

  This may help:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
