I appreciate the link, however my name is Martine, not Martini. But man, that makes me thirsty…

Hi Mani,
First, thanks for the link love. Second, I’m not a he. Finally, I believe you misconstrued my main point. I don’t think anyone should just blindly start a completely new blog. In my entry, I ask the readers to consider how established their Blogger blog is already before choosing to import or start fresh.

With Blogger, though you can take the blog entries with you, it would take time to get your new blog re-established, especially from the search engine stand point because Blogger does not allow 301 (permanent) redirects.

Why is this a big deal? Sure, you can let Google know about your brand new WP blog on your own domain, but guess what? It doesn’t mean that your new blog will start ranking for certain keywords that the Blogger blog already has locked down. That takes time and back links.

Even if you import your blog entries, it’s like starting a completely new blog in the eyes of the search engines and, by the way, I’m not just referring to Google.

Of course, if the blogger used Blogger’s domain mapping feature, then it’s not really a problem.

Hi Teli, Sorry for the he-she thing.

Reg: the migration, i think if the blogger is clear and convinced about moving to Wp, then he should knock off his old blog or it will result in duplicate content.Which is difficult to handle, than moving your posts to Wp and starting the SEO thing all over.

I think both of agree on the fact that - Wp is better than blogger and if you are moving(be it from a younger blog or an established one), the SEO you do solely will decide your new blogs status.

Am i right?

Cheers!
Mani
