People are getting to my blog in very strange way’s. First of all, I haven’t checked the box that says to make my blog visible on search engines, and I only have 5 very specific tags. Yet, the weirdest search terms are throwing traffic towards me. Searches like: “noční obloha” which, I don’t even know the meaning of, are common among many. I REALLY do not want my blog to be sooooo wide spread across the internet, and I have no idea how these terms are being associated with my blog… I’d really like to know who is visiting, why they are visiting, and where they are comming from. It just doesn’t make sense… My old tag’s, for my old blog, are still search-able with Google too. I’v heard sooner or later they won’t be associated with my blog anymore but… from what I’m seeing, and from all the new search terms that are popping up, I’m wondering how is this even possible?
My main questions are:
Why are term’s such as “noční obloha” associated with my blog?
And what can I do about this?I’d like to reach a legit target audience. Not every random person who searches for every random thing.
I want my visitors to have prior knowledge about my blog, and a reason for comming to it.Any advice or suggestions would be cool. Because I’m sure that this here will show up in a Google search too.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It is nearly inevitable that most of your readers will come from search engines; a typical rate is anything between 65-95%. The way you get more readers is to have something interesting when they land on it.
I wouldn’t worry about random web traffic. It’s not going to hurt your blog, and like I said, if your stuff is good you will convert them into regular readers. If you don’t want ANYONE stumbling across your blog, make it invisible to search engines; that’s what that option is for.

I have that option clicked………….. I’v contacted support about this too. I just like to roll under the radar. I don’t want to be visible in Google searches at all.

Your site is indexed by Google; there’s nothing Support can do to un-index you. That’s actually your own business. You can verify your site with Google Webmaster Tools, and then ask for it to be removed from Google’s index.

Once you have set up a Google webmaster’s account and changed your blog settings so current and future content is not indexed by search engines http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ you may be able to remove from data from Google’s cache, provided it meets their criteria.

@raincoaster, wordpress.COM has not put a verification section in tools > tools where you can put the verification code, and it works just fine. It ever works with Yahoo and Bing.

@sacredpath, should I put the verification code in for each option then? Google, Yahoo, and Bing? I wasn’t even thinking about Yahoo and Bing, I wonder if my blog’s as easily visible with them too… probably hey? So I need to verify for each of these… and then….?
@timethief, my old blog would have hundreds of URL’s that return 404 errors. I cannot remember all of them. My new blog (same domain) DOESN’T return ANY 404 errors… So… is this all just useless? Sorry that seems harsh I know your trying to help and it’s appreciated, but… yeah, you catch my drift.

And now it’s verified. I have no idea where to go from here but thank you so much sacredpath!!!
