Another Great Tutorial from Polly
Now something else that I’ve seen lately is blocked blogs. If you have it blocked intentionally I can respect that. However, when I go into my site analytics to see where my guests are coming from, there are a few blogs in there that, when I click to go to them, it says “You are not an invited member of this blog. You must be invited to visit this blog. Please contact the blog owner.”
Ok, a few things are wrong with this scenario.
First, the blog is blocked, which also doesn’t allow you access to a profile of the blog owner, so there’s no way to contact that blog owner.
If my analytics show that I am receiving visitors as a result of something pertaining to my blog from your site, then I feel I should be allowed to see what it is that you’re posting. If you’re locked on purpose, give me the courtesy of inviting me to enter your blog. Otherwise, please remove my info.
(I have at least 50 of these kind of visits a day on my site analytics.)

If you’re a blogger wondering why you aren’t getting any visits to your blog, this could be your problem.

Here’s how to fix it.
Go to Dashboard
Go to “Settings”
Go to “Permissions”
Scroll down to “Blog Readers”
Go to ‘Who Can View My Blog?”
If you have “Only People I Choose” checked, then your blog is locked.
I’ve heard from a few people that they are afraid to check “Anybody” because it says it only allows 100 readers. This isn’t true. The 100 readers applies only when you have checked “Only People I Choose”.
So, check “Anybody”.
Now everyone will be able to view your blog.
