  I used the privacy settings to make the blog entirely private. Since I see a lot of traffic in the stats, which shouldn’t be! Why so? It makes me worry a lot about people seeing the blog. Also WordPress.com has since been listed in the referrers, why? I don’t the blog to be referrenced since I want it 100% private.

  I realize sometimes the stats can display myself if I look at the blog from another computer, but it hasn’t been the case. Please help! :)
  Thanks!

  Your own visits are counted when your blog is private. So if you view your posts on your blog, even when logged in, then that is counted in the stats.
