    Guys,

    I would like to know your opinion on the following...

    Let's say we have a reputable blog with pagerank 4 or higher... The blog is on the subdomain like blogspot.com or typepad.com.... I want to move the site to a domain - myblog.com - the move is done correctly via 301 redirects. The new domain will not have any PR.

    Question for you... would you buy a permanent link on such a blog domain? The domain has no PR at the moment, but I assume after a time it will get PR from the 301 redir.

    Do you think that the link juice will be passed to the link partner as soon as the search engines index the new domain and pass the link juice from .blogspot.com version of the blog when 301 is there?

    It should pass. But ad buyers really like to visually see the stupid green bar. So you might have to keep your prices low until the link juice is showing again. I'd make your selling point the relevance of the blog and the traffic stats.

    Thanks Voasi. I guess you are right on this one.

    Link buyers want to see the PR, if its not there, the price will be lower.

    But I hope its only a psychology and the link juice will be passed on...

    How are you going to 301 from blogspot? You have no access to the root.

    Why you don't sell out the links before moving the blog to the new domain?

    Well, good point. I would want to sell links before but I don't want to piss of the link buyers when they suddenly see that PR is gone

    Blogspot offers a custom domain. They make 301 redirects for you. You go to Settings> Publishing tab , and then you change type of the publishing to your domain that you own.
