General question:
I had a website up on wordpress.com and was pulling in about 400 visitors/page views a day. I transferred over to wordpress.org and love it but I noticed that my stats started to stagnate and then begin to drop to about 200 a day. On a whim, I deactivated my SEO by Yoast (I found it confusing) and sure enough, within a week my stats rose back up to 400. Am I crazy? Could the app in the wrong hands (mine!) do more harm than good for my SEO?
