  Recently, I had several emails exchanges between myself and WordPress that I did not consider too provocative. It had to do with spam content from posters who had commented on some blogs I posted. I eventually found and removed these comments. Problem is that after my email exchanges, my stats dropped considerably and I had several emails asking where my blog had disappeared to. Any ideas on why or how this change can happen?

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

  As the vast and overwhelming majority of free hosted wordpress.com blogs cannot have blogger initiated advertising on them, and only high traffic blogs that qualify for acceptance into the the AdControl program can earn income for advertising our stats amount bragging rights only, and the term “traffic” usually indicates a desire to attract ad clickers. Consequently, wordpress.com bloggers are savvy to the fact that they must focus on learning and applying basic SEO and publishing fresh original content to draw in targeted readers.

  Successful blogs draw between 30 – 60 % of their incoming targeted readers. from search engine referrals. Targeted readers are different from casual traffic. Targeted readers arrive on your blog in response to SERPS (search engine page results) knowing the subject matter they are searching for will be found in your posts (assuming you have used relevant tags). Targeted readers are more likely to become regular readers and subscribers and leave comments on your posts. They are also more likely to backlink to your posts in posts of their own and when they do your blog will receive visitors who click the links. Targeted readers are also more likely to share the URL to your blog with other targeted readers in the same niche.

  If you use the search utility you will find many suggestions in numerous threads with regard to increasing targeted readers to your site and building a blog centered community. If you click my username you will find that basic SEO and effective blog promotion is a subject I blog about.
