I like to blog more each day, even though it just only reaching 500 hits in sitemeter, I enjoy it. Now i'm thinking, should I stay with blogspot, or can I upgrade it? Possible to moving it into hosting or something. What are the options?
Get yourself a domain & hosting first off and ftp from your blogger dashboard to your new server. Better to shift now than wait and risk damaging any good links/rankings... And I'm personally a bit fed-up with Blogger and its new "improvements" so I'm very much considering a move to WordPress or Movable Type when I get a window of opportunity to do so... I know WordPress has an import from Blogger feature.
Is there any easy way to migrate from indomino.blogspot.com into indomino.net without damaging any back links? Possible to create redirection page?
What do you want to migrate? You can basically import all your posts to your new blogging application (wordpress has the tools for it) and recreate your layout... You can't really create a redirection page on blogspot.
You said yourself you aren't getting a ton of traffic so i say pull off the bandaid and just post a link to the new site on your blogspot. Any other links are probnably directory listings which you can redo as it is a brand new site. The longer you wait, the more you lose.
True. Before I go to far I want to move it in steady place. I will take a look at wordpress cause it more people to use it.
I will strongly recommend you to go for self hosted wordpress powered blog.... I have just started my own blog www.abhisays.com It also uses wordpress and self hosting...
Yep, as with what everyone else has said. Get Wordpress and host it yourself. You can download tons of themes, and WP is much more SEO friendly to be honest. It doesn't cost much for hosting nowadays and if you are serious about blogging you'll earn that money back.
Thanks guys, really appreciated. I already have a host but I'm not that satisfied with it, looking for new one.
Blogger helps you monetize your site easier than other sites. But it is up to you if you still want to stick to blogger, or go to wordpress.
I am personally in the same situation, having a good blogger blog with nice traffic coming in but since some time comment spamming and everything started and I stopped posting new content. This all actually decreased the number of visitors and revenue is near to nothing. I made a wordpress blog with own domain hosting. Sounds like a best solution for long term and I still believe that it is the best option even after this happend to me ( faced strange wordpress problem ) http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=273344 I wish if some of the experienced members can help! Thanks.
