WordPress and Google crawling
-
Hello, I wish to ask some things about WordPress. I have searched the forums, but my main problem is:
I am not using the WordPress that is downloaded and used on my own servers. I am using WordPress’s servers, and my blog is a wordpress.com site. I hope I make sense, because this means I can’t use plugins, change the codes, and a lot of other things.
I wanted a bit of privacy, so if you want my website, please send me an email. Sorry and thanks.
My main question pertains to Google Webmaster Tools. I have been using Fetch as Google to submit my websites, and I faced no problems for a while.
However, in late October, when I try submitting a URL, I see that it’s redirected from http to the https version. The Downloaded HTTP response is not the actual post either. Below is screenshot of what I got:

Minor questions:
i) This one is more of a clarification. Let’s say I password-protect a post. What are the different ways its contents can be ‘leaked’ anyway? What if the post was public for a few days before it got password-protected?ii) If the My Stats page says a password-protected page was visited 2 times, does that mean the password was typed in 2 times? Or merely refers to the number of times the permalink was clicked, but not if the viewer could actually view its full contents? Is there a way for me to see how many people actually typed in the passwords?
iii) Is it possible to customize the protected text? The Codex assumes that I use the downloaded WordPress, but I’m not.
Thanks for any help that you give.
