  Hi! I’ve been looking and looking for an answer to this because I swear I’ve seen this question asked and answered before, but I can’t find it and I can’t remember the answer!!!

  The question: I’ve been getting “WordPress.com” as a referer for a few days. I click on it and it goes to the WordPress blog. What does this mean?

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

  It’s basically a referrer from any point at WordPress.com that you don’t have direct access to, like another user’s Dashboard (if you left a comment on their blog), or a user’s WordPress.com Subscriptions panel (if they subscribed to your blog).
