Hello, I'm looking for someone who could migrate WordPress.com blogs and Blogger (Blogspot) Blogs to Self Hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) without losing SEO Value. I know that we can easily import all the posts from blogger to WordPress using the Importer. But I read that we can retain the SEO value as well using some hacks. PM me your quotes per blog and the details regarding this that is whether all the images (alt), links, URL etc be same or will be using 301s. Thanks, Mahesh
Well what I did and seemed to do the trick for me was transfer all my posts and then 301 redirect all posts but not the homepage to the new domain, keep that going for about a week and then ask google to deindex the old blog so the content is unique, I had about the same traffic however your pagerank will be 0 and theres not much you can do about that right away.. But that doesn't really affect your rankings. Just saying what I did. It may take 2-3 weeks for your rankings to get back where they were and I would build some backlinks obviously. One other thing thats important is that in webmaster tools you tell google that you moved domains, this will help alot.
