  I am an admin for a private blog shared only with one other person. We are seeing referrers from other WP blogs. How does this happen and what can they actually see? Thank you!
  Blog url: http://maiasong.wordpress.com/

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

  Your blog isn’t private, it’s only hidden from search engines, and the referrers that you’re referring to are coming from your subscribers via the WordPress.com Reader.

  You are correct if you are referring to my personal blog
  wisteriatowinter.

  The blog in question is http://whisperingwordsforyou.wordpress.com/

  No, I was referring to http://maiasong.wordpress.com/ earlier.

  http://whisperingwordsforyou.wordpress.com/ is private, but the WordPress.com views are still coming from subscribers in the WordPress.com Reader.
