There's no way to retain your old Blogger permalinks when migrating to WordPress.com.

It looks like Blogger does support redirects, so you may be able to remove your old content and set the error page to redirect to your WordPress.com blog--this will direct visitors to your old blogspot address to your new blog.

Best,
P.

I am moving from blogger and am hoping someone could direct me to a tutorial on how to not loose my back links in the process?

The only problem is one of the main referrals I have was linked when I didn't have my domain yet. It was under blogspot still. Right now all the blogspot links seems to go to the domain but I am not sure if because it was originally linked as blogpost I can carry the referral with me to WP?

Thank you!

entry?

Search Engine Terms
These are the terms, words, and phrases people use, through various search engines (i.e. Google, Yahoo, Bing), to find posts and pages on your WordPress.com blog. Please note that these do not include the terms which your readers use within your blog’s Search Widget or any other search form on your blog.

Some search engines don’t reveal search terms for privacy reasons. That’s why we don’t always know which search terms were used by visitors who arrived at your site from a search engine. When we don’t know the search terms, we show them as “Unknown search terms”.

For example, if I made a blog post linking to your blog, my blog post would show as a referrer.

Unfortunately, like with comments, referrer listings are not immune to bot-generated spam. We do our best to filter out as many spam referrers as we can, but please contact us via http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ if you find any new ones that we aren't filtering.

As a parallel problem, I am puzzled by the times that the grand total of all specific page loads listed for a day, if you add them yourself, is a fraction of the number of views for the whole site in the chart. Now I know those can be inconsistent, but sometimes it's a huge multiple, other times it's only a percentage.

This is because the home page does not count towards the views towards the specific posts. If you want to test this, put a more link in every post, so that they have to go to the specific post to see the full thing, and the totals should be a lot closer.

I find it hard to believe that such a high proportion of my traffic is:
a) visiting that many pages
b) navigating with a bookmark

Is there something else going on? and can it be changed?

I've run enough of my own web servers, over the past fifteen years, to know that's impossible to avoid, whether you use javascript or the actual web server requests.

But the undercount I'm seeing here is absolutely ridiculous, and bizarrely inconsistent.

I can have my activity, for a specific article, increase by a factor of ten, because a specific high-volume website linked to me:

The total hits then skyrockets. This comes with a boost in the referrers from that website...but sometimes only a fraction of the overall increase in that page's loads.

Refresh the page a few times, because it does change. If they're your #1 referrer, that's probably what's going on.

Other "wordpress.com" referrals can be from the Latest Posts on people's dashboard and we THINK but are not SURE, from Possibly Related Posts.
