hey friends.. recently i bought a domain for my blog:
pay4clix.blogspot.com (now its blogging4.com)
but unfortunately, i lost my page rank. i want to ensure that in the next page rank update, blogging4.com gets some pagerank.
i do have visitors from my previous blogspot address.. but things have changed. there is a decrease in traffic and thus low click-through rate for my PTC ads.
can anyone guide me with what should i do now to get things better..
thanks a lot

this is a problem for many.. unfortunately nothing much can be done...
for example my previous blog hosted on wordpress.com was pr3 but I went for a separate domain and self hosting and now I have no pagerank :D
you better go to google webmaster tools and send a request to remove your old domain from google cache and add your new domain for indexing.... so that new links will be there in the index. but for pagerank I dont think you can do much as you cant set a permanent redirect from blogger blogs to the new website.

Add a link on every page of the old site to the new one. That way some of the PR will transfer over

no, you didnt get me... i have the same hosting (provided by blogger).. its just that i got a new domain..

i have done that. and since **.blogspot.com transfers to new domain, google knows that i've changed my domain. also, when i search for my old blog title, the new title of custom domain is displayed on top..
but i want to know if i can do anything extra to get my old traffic along with SE Reputation back.
