Using your own Domain name with Blogger ?

For this Blogspot blog I have I want to use a domain name. But my problem is will I loose all traffic and serp or Google put a 301 redirect to the domain name ?



.

 

you need to put 301 redirect if you want to get the traffic from your blogspot to your new domain

 

There is an option in blogger to redirect your traffic to your domain

 

That's amazing ...how is it done?Am so curious.

 

How do you put a 301 redirect when you don't have FTP access ?

 

As far as y experience with these things is concerned, there is NO WAY to put 301 redirect with blogspot domain. Al you can do is that you can use a meta tag that will redirect your blogspot blog to your new page.YOu may retain some traffic but that is not very effective for preserving the link juice.
An I am pretty sure about what I am saying. I recently did a 301 redirect from www.amoledcreen.net to www.irnovo.com both are on blogger. Had it been a blogspot domain, it was impossible to do a 301 redirect.

 

Blogger automatically redirects yoursite.blogspot.com pages to yoursite.com, once you buy the domain through them. So, traffic not much a worry in that case

 

only the homepage is redirected to the new hompage and its not a 301 redirect so link juice will be lost if any.

 

It is made automacally for Google, he makes a 301 redirect. Even there's an option to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com
