  Hi,
  I wasn’t too sure what else to call my post…
  But this is what happened
  I purchased a new domain through Netregistry and directed it to my existing wordpress site.
  I also have google advertising Since the creation of the domain I hve been inundated by phone calls from web service companies wanting to rebuild my ‘new’ site etc.

  Low and behold my site is getting stacks of hits and my google advertising budget has been exhausted with no actual clientelle!!!!
  When I queiried this with google they advised my site manager could pull the ip addresses of the hits and if they are common and regarded as spam google could do more about it..
  Im not happy hey.
  They are still ringing and I am no abusing them.
  I wonder if I can get any assistance from wordpress at all.

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

  Hi there, I don’t see a domain connected to your WordPressdotcom website at bodyandspirittherapy.wordpress.com Are you talking about a different site?

  Since the creation of the domain I hve been inundated by phone calls from web service companies wanting to rebuild my ‘new’ site etc.

  When you register a domain, your domain registrar offers an option called Domain Privacy which substitutes the personal information that you provide ICANN with an alias for the WHOIS registry. Check with your domain registrar if you can purchase that option.
