    Hello,

    Since I've bought a new domain for my blogger/blogspot blog via Google Apps, The old domain with .blogspot.com ending ranks better in Google. It's frustrating. The new domain is WAY more relevant in name. However the old domain's appropriate articles are redirected to the ones on the new domain. Will the *.blogspot.com results disappear from Google in time??? It's annoying, because I can't even send a removal request since the robots.txt is also used by the new domain website....

    it will take time for Google to change the results.
    Also, ping your sites. Submit sitemap in your google webmaster account.
    These might speed up the process :)

    yup, if you updated the domain, then the blogspot will be gone.
