Hello, 

Mine is a 4 month old blog on wordpress.com which was receiving decent traffic through Google search engine until about 10 days ago. Suddenly I noticed that the traffic has gone down to almost zero. I also realised that a browser with Alexa Toolbar installed is not passing the search engine data and also not updating the views in the Stats Dashboard. All help and inputs to solve this is much appreciated.

You use Alexa to track visitors Yell  Use Google Analytics to track them, follow the other thread opened today to check the methods.  PIM me if you want help

Hello sangeeta if you start self hosted websites.. either you add jetpack plugin to track your visitors... or add analytics code either via plugin or above </head>(in header.php)file... and there is another website which helps you to track your visitor ie statscounter.com... enjoy blogging... 

Thanks...
