 * Heya,
 * So about two weeks ago I moved from wordpress.com to wordpress.org, but my problem
   is that I’m getting terrible traffic even though I have almost two years’ worth
   of content. I’ve been getting only around 10-20 hits last week but now I’m only
   getting around 4-5. On wordpress.com my average was about 250 hits a day.
 * I don’t know what to do. My site is getting indexed by google, but I’m getting
   minimal search engine traffic.
 * I’ve tried pingomatic.com and other blog directories but still nothing. I’ve 
   got WP supercache, xml sitemaps and the seo optimization plugin. The wordpress.
   com stats plugin is telling me all this by the way.
 * Site is [http://wavegaming.net/](http://wavegaming.net/)
 * Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

 * If you changed domains when you moved, it could take Google up to a year to reindex
   everything, and if no one is linking to your new domain, your page rank will 
   suffer for a while.
 * Keep in mind that you’ve also left behind all of wordpress.com’s social exploration
   features, like Freshly Pressed, the tag browser, and the site-wide “Like” button.

 * Just to be sure get a “second opinion” with a different stats plugin:

 * Thanks! I now have three stat monitoring plugins and all of them seem to have
   different results. The other two besides the .com plugin shows that I have been
   getting hundreds, but could they be counting the crawler visits as well? I don’t
   know.
 * Thanks for you help!

 * I know that SlimStat doesn’t count crawler visits, so you’re definitely getting
   most of your old audience.

 * 889 visits by 150 unique ips? And I told it to exclude mine. So I guess that’s
   a good thing.
