Not seeing some followers and transferring stats

  I changed my old wordpress.com site to private briefly

  How briefly did you leave the .com site set to private? You really need to leave the privacy setting on for this to work.

  it seemed to really cause a dip in my visitors. Since then, I changed it back and people are being redirected to the wordpress.org site.

  Your site redirects correctly with the privacy setting on, so that’s not what’s causing the dip in your traffic. If you were getting a lot of traffic from reader tags (and it looks like you were) you will notice a dip in your traffic. Your new site is showing up in the reader correctly, but only sites hosted on WordPress.com show up on the tag pages.

  I have quite a few new subscribers on the wordpress.com, are you able to move those over for me again?

  I’ve moved the subscribers. After this, we need to rely on the privacy settings for this.

  Also, I had a reader tell me she was no longer to see me in the wordpress.com reader app

  I checked on this and I do see your site in the reader. Was your reader following your site specifically or did she follow a tag you your posts used to show up in regularly?

  I just got back from vacation and am going through all my emails. I apologize that I did not get back with you sooner.

  I will switch the site to private today and rely upon the redirect for wordpress.com readers. That should stop the wordpress.com followers from building up again, correct? Can you move the last few over for me?

  Thanks!

  I’ve moved the last group of subscribers.

  I hope you had a good vacation!
