from blogspot to own domain

    I want to move my existing .blogspot to my own domain by transferring it through blogspot and hosting it in a new own personal domain and i am worried that if such move will affect my pagerank and will it really reduce my overall ranking for many of my top keywords? Has anyone done this before and how successful or failed they are with this move?

    Can someone help in this matter, this is urgent.

    well

    in theory it will not affect your rankings and pagerank... in practice it does... temporarily

    When you tell blogger about your new domain, what it does is a 301 redirect and as far as i understand; it takes a while to spread to all data centers and crawlers will need some time to find the 301 rule and reestablish your links authority
