ACK! Blog transfer and DC penalty

[david_sakh]

I just transferred one of my blogs to one of my servers (not on blogspot.com), but the original content at blogspot remains. I don't want to be penalized for duplicate content...

Anyone know if I can delete the files at blogspot without affecting those on my server? Blogger only recognizes one group of files in the CP, even when accessed from both sites...

Personally, I would delete the content and on each page, place a link to where the new site can be found...

Not a lot else you can do other that placing meta's on every page...

i don't think im allowed to ftp the files directly am i?

after all, the problem is question is on blogger's server.

Yeah... my main blog (http://www.seo-dev.co.uk/) is hosted on my own servers and I FTP the content over to them.

im not sure what to do, but DC will be minimal because i transferred early on.

I guess I'm stuck with my decision. Kinda stupid tho. Maybe I'll e-mail G about it and see if they can remove it manually or give me instructions to do so.

You'll just have to delete it I think...

Ahhhh. But now I see your point.....

Speak to TwisterMC... He made the move recently... He'll know what to do...
