Hi, I recently updated my blog from .blogspot to a custom domain. now i lost my blogger blog's Page Rank 4 and all the backlinks froms those thousands of directories in which i had submitted my blog and from other sources(a total of about 2000). Now should i resubmit the blog to those directories with this new custom domain name.. will they accept my site as it will be now a duplicate site of the older .blogspot domain .. coz that old blog domain also redirect to this new custom domain.. plz suggest me .. wat should i do ..
Hey Buddy.. Many people do this kinda upgrade... yes i think u need to resubmit..but do mention that u have updated.. Hope it gets okay..
ya i havnt lost my those undirect backlinks which redirects to my new domain .. but i lost my hard earned PR 4
yes, re-submit and put a redirect on the old url to point to the new one. That's the main reason why I don't like the blogspot domains
That happened to me, I went from PR4 on a blogspot address > custom domain > PR0 > 1 or two google updates later > PR4 again > predicted PR5 Luckily though, I didn't do much work when I had the blogspot domain, but after getting my own domain, I submitted to tons and tons of directories and sites.
Blogspot are only used to test the waters if you are serious about blogging. Now, you will need to start all over again. Losing a PR4 ain't that bad, I flee my PR5 blogspot blog and go for a self-hosted Wordpress blog and now it is at PR4.
