hey everyone, so i have a blog now that is in blogger but i want to update to a domain name without the word blogspot. when i update it, will i loose all of the traffic i already had to the blog and will i lose my google page rank. thanks
if you update your domain from xxx.blogspot.com to xxx.com.. you not lose your traffic because your old domain still work..but the domain xxx.com don't have any page rank and the alexa rank will lose too. because it's new domain. if you update your domain from xxx.com to aaa.com you will lose traffic and page rank..
The question was answered. No you will not lose any traffic because Google forwards them to your new domain name.
Sounds like it's worth it to move then. You can probably get your PR up again without too much trouble. Not losing your traffic, though, that's the main worry, IMO.
try "site move" feature in google webmaster tools (i have never used it by I suppose this it what it is for)
Google forwards the domain for you but it is always good to make it well known that you are now using your own URL -- also, lol why can't people just get along? Stop flaming it out
