Unfortunately still having this problem.. Both my old and new site are ‘both’ very low views/visitors. The problem seems to be that the old site isn’t getting the traffic to re-direct to the new site, i might talk to wordpress directly about it as they might be able to tell what is causing it.

I made my old site ‘public’ yesterday again but i would not say traffic has really gone up as a result.. i feel the problem is something to do with the ownership thing above as that seemed to be the turning point.. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi Simplysaru. Thanks for the quick response.

Yeah sure, my old one is jayrando.wordpress.com
My new one is jayrando.com

In webmaster tools under the site dashboard when i click on jayrando.wordpress.com it says in the ‘all messages’ and ‘new and important’ area:

‘Google Analytics web property: link has been removed from https://jayrando.wordpress.com/
October 8, 2013

Your Webmaster Tools site https://jayrando.wordpress.com/ is no longer linked to a Google Analytics web property. Possible reasons are:

You are no longer the owner of the site in Google Analytics, and nobody else owns both the site and the property

Another site owner removed the link.’

I did wonder before it might be because i made the older site ‘private’ and that now the old traffic (800 views) doesn’t find either site.
