why did viewer figures suddenly drop last Friday, May 30? The same content on another blog is still getting the same figures.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It looks like the majority of your traffic is coming from search engines. The amount of referrers from search engines has dropped alongside drops in traffic starting on May 30th. It’s entirely possible that your content is not appearing as high in search results as it was previously. Unfortunately, we have no control over how your content appears in searches. You can read more about search results at WordPress.com here:

You may want to consider the following tools for increasing traffic levels:
* Use Publicize to tell people in your social networks about your new post:
* Encourage friends and family to read your blog by sending them reminder emails when you publish posts:
* Read and comment on other blogs:

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Thanks Jeremy, I’m sure you’re right and I can understand you don’t have any control over search engines, but I did wonder why figures just dropped suddenly after being about three times higher for so long. The same content appears elsewhere and visitor numbers haven’t dropped at all. Anyhow, I’ll keep an eye on it, if it’s not something that change on WordPress, all the best. Simon

Hey Simon,
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s anything I can help with at the current moment. However, I’ll keep an eye out for similar threads across WordPress.com to see if a larger issue may be the culprit. I’ll let you know if I find anything!

OK, thank you for your assistance, it’s true about search engine referrals, they have dropped to almost nothing suddenly, so perhaps it’s some change there. I’ll keep looking! Cheers. Simon
