    I have a blog hosted with blogger with address such as xxxxxxxx.blogspot.com. This blog is active from past one and a half year and gets very high amount of traffic. It has many backlinks in Google and also a Pr of 2. Alexa ranking is also very high for this blog.

    Now I planning to switch to custom domain name through the inbuilt facility given by Blogger.com. But before switching over I would like to know the pros and cons of this. Can you tell me what are the advantages and disadvantages of switching to custom domain name from the blogspot domain name.

    in start you may witness a drop in visitors and rankings but it will come back to normal after 2 to 3 weeks.

    There is no major disadvantage...as it will be a 301 redirect..

    This is probably a dumb question, but why would you want to switch to a custom domain if blogger is getting you good traffic?

    maybe more earnings from adsense perspective. Advertisers might bid higher then.
