Want to move from blogger to wordpress site ?

Blogger to WordPress Redirection

Many bloggers who start bogging for understand the things, getting used to with these termilogy, earn money without investment and so many other reasons, mostly they start with Blogger.com which is free utility by Google. Even I am one of them. But when you are used to with these and at that time you feels that I should start my site with WordPress self hosted site as WordPress has many advantage in terms of SEO, Plug-in etc. But now great question is my blogspot blog is very popular and now I don’t want to loose my visitors while moving to new domain blog. Did I got trapped? No dude there is still a way to come out from it and make 303 redirect to your blogger blog to your self hosted blog.

I am sharing my own experience with you how I did the same. I was having blog about Mr. Narendra Modi, CM, Gujarat and leading politician of India. It’s url is thenarendramodi.blogspot.com and now it is http://www.thenarendramodi.info

If you are also planning to move your blogspot blog to wordpress selfhosted site then you have two options :

1. If your blog is too much popular and having good PR (Page Rank) and you want to maintain it and don’t want to loose much on PR as well as back-links (in some cases). In this case you must have patience to wait for 3-4 months for things going set. This is a bit long procedure but if you have time to wait then you must follow this procedure. Find detailed procedure at http://www.devilsworkshop.org by Rahul Bansal.
2. You can’t wait for your new adventure (website) and you are not much concern about your PR then you can move your blogspot blog to new selfhosted site in maximum half an hour to one hour. It’s it cool ?. Well this will be post to post conversion, I mean if any one try to open any of your blogpsot link like http://thenarendramodi.blogspot.com/2008/05/mukesh-ambani-praises-narendra-modi.html will automatically redirect to your new site like http://www.thenarendramodi.info/mukesh-ambani-praises-narendra-modi/ This will be explained in detailed at http://www.devilsworkshop.org by Rahul Bansal.

What I did for transfer my blog ?

• Purchase new domain & web space. You can get good deal for the same from my hosting provider.



• Install wordpress CMS from wordpress (One of the best CMS, I had ever seen till date)
• Transfer all post from blogspot blog to this site using wordpress import blog feature.
• Install Blogger To WordPress 1-2-1 Redirection Plugin and couple of other plugin
• Update my blogspot blog as per instructed by Rahul @ Blogger To WordPress 1-2-1 Redirection Plugin guide page.
• Cross my fingures and search for my blog and click on the result.
• That result link will lead me to my new blog and I just cheer up.

I must admit here this is very easy procedure is explained by Rahul Bansal and one can do it easily if he / she is bit technical person.
