Converting Blogger to a Wordpress Domain

[idahoguy]

I have a client with a blogger site that has been doing great in the rankings but now they've bought a domain and we've put wordpress on it, and then imported the 30 or so posts from the old blogger account.

My question is what has worked best for you when converting a blogger site over to your own domain with wordpress? Should we remove all the posts from the blogger account since we have imported all into the wordpress site? There's really no way to redirect a blogger site unfortunately.

Any tips and advice on this mucho appreciated!!! What has worked for you? What hasn't worked for you?

Enjoy the weekend!

I don't have any experience with this but it sounds like a pretty tough situation. Since the blogger posts are ranking well, if you delete the posts entirely folks won't have anyplace to go if they come to a post by way of a search. If you keep them up, they'll continue to compete with the new domain.

I might delete [all | most of] the body of the posts and put a link to the corresponding post on the new domain. This will at least save some of the search traffic for as long as the blogger posts remain in the index. Maybe give it a month or so before taking them down entirely.

Not sure if that's the best advice, but the only thing I can come up with.

I would leave the content where it is and maybe add to each post a link to the new site.... so long as they have good spots don't try to duplicate the content... will only hurt new site as blogger will have more canonical strength

I Think you are asking for this .

yup it would do it or else there another way in which that blog will open and then redirect to domain after 5 seconds.
