  I’ve exported my blog (technologyformedia.com) from wordpress.com and imported it to my new host (BlueHost).
  I’d like help getting the subscribers exported. I didn’t see the answer on your help page;
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
  But saw on a forum I could come here and get help with here.

  Also, is there a way t transfer my Wordads account to the new host so I don’t lose the money I’ve generated thus far?

  Also, also, is there a way to get my Stats to be accurately represented in my new host from my wp.com days?

  thanks a bunch!

  Howdy,

  I’m happy to transfer the users who have subscribed to your blog either by email or via the WordPress.com Reader.

  I need to know 1) the WordPress.com site your followers are at now, 2) what site you want them moved to, and 3) do you have the Jetpack plugin installed and connected to your WordPress.com user account?

  Please keep in mind that while your email subscribers will continue to receive email notifications of new posts as before, WordPress.com followers will only see new posts in the Reader. They will not receive email updates unless they subscribe to receive those on your new site. You might want to post a notice on your old site about your upcoming move to keep your readers informed.

  WordAds is currently not available for self-hosted sites. You can contact our WordAds team on this form with your inquiry of your current WordAds balance:

  The only option with regards to stats is to merge your WordPress.com stats with your Jetpack-enabled self-hosted site. You would need to retain your Jetpack connection for this to work. Also, you would need to have fully imported your WordPress.com site and retained the same permalink structure as stats work on static post/page IDs and changing them would break your old stats. Alternatively, you can continue to view your old stats and new stats from your My Stats page on WordPress.com.

  I hope that clarifies things! I’ll wait to hear back from you regarding your follower transfer.
