  Hi,

  How is it that the stats show traffic to my blog was the highest it’s been since it’s creation (only one week today) the day I created it but nobody knew about it but one person. (Other than me, of course.) And I know this person didn’t visit it but once.

  Any insight?
  Thanks, The Scottie Chronicles

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

  Did you use tags and categories? If you did then you opened your blog up to the whole WordPress community, which I think would be a good thing.

  Also maybe Google or some other search engine has already indexed your posts.

  OOOOHhhhhhhh! I see. Yes. I did use tags and categories. It showed up in Google as of yesterday, but maybe earlier too.

  THANKS!!!! I appreciate your taking the time to provide this insight.
