i have this PR 3 blog: http://pay4clix.blogspot.com/ now i want to get a domain name for myself. what do you think? will changing to a different domain affect my blog in any way?
Your blog would more professional if you had a domain, thats for sure. The only thing that will affect your blog, is your indexed sites on Google. But they will get indexed again.
Well i did transfer the domain as well, when it was pr0, but it did hav quite a bit of content, here's the thing, i changed the name of the site as well, so i had to recreate banners, change all my posts named with the old site name to the new one, my feed url,,blah..blah,it was quite a mess,but now its all good,if u r looking to goto pay4clix.com or something i think it'll be ok there's nothing much to be changed, in terms of indexing in google, ur old pages would still be there and there would be redirection as well..atleast approx until ur new pages are indexed so u should be safe. I think if you are looking to continue developing this blog seriously for some time u better get a new domain.
and what about the pagerank?? will it be affected after a domain change? i know its not of much use, but many noobs only exchange links with sites which has a decent PR.
oh some more questions.. sorry, but i want to get everything clear in my mind before i take any step.. 1. as asked above, will the pagerank be affected after a domain change? 2. which tld should i go for for my blog (its a make money blog) 3. is 1and1.com a reliable registrar or is there any better/cheaper registrar as well?
Dont use 1and1.... go Namecheap or Godaddy or another like Moniker or Dynadot or MyDomain, anything besides 1and1 really lol.
