    I have a blogspot blogger which is doing well in organic searches. Now i want to get this on its domain and make it self hosted but my big worry is that i will lose the my organic traffic.

    Is there any way i can redirect this blogspot without affecting my rankings. I am really desperate to move this blog. The blog has 829pages and 34102 incoming links and PR5.

    My main concern also is about all those incoming links

    Many Thanks

    set up a 301 redirect on the pages with your links and send them to the pages on your own host. That way you will not lose link juice from existing links.

    Also check your Google Webmaster tools- they have updated it so you can check broken incoming links- fix them with a 301 redirect.
