Hmm, Since you are have done the job first hand and tasted the results, you should be right. When I shifted I didn’t want to delete the old one, I was not feeling good thinking of it that way. Maybe we should give up our dislikes for the greater good.

But I don’t think that traffic goes down, in my case, traffic and Adsense has improved on my Blogger blog and on some months the Blogger one makes more money than this one here.

I appreciate your points. Hope someone who reads this before making a decision finds it useful

Arun you are right, but I have a different opinion on it.
page rank do not move at the same time but if 301 perma redirection is done perfectly your Pr will be passed on in the next update for sure.
Out of 4 clients I migrated last month, 2 of them has PR and both of them got their PR with this month Google PR update.

Though you are true about blog design part, but then there is something to add here and that is, if you have more then 50 blog post on your blogspot, instead of leaving them behind and with time it will be going down under search engine, is int it better to move to wordpress and keep pampering it with backlinks and anchor text technique?

I moved from blogspot to wordpress almost 6 months back and I migrated all my blogpost along, that time I though I should have started a fresh wordpress blog but now I feel it was a good decision. I respect your point of view but this is what my point of view.

Alok,
Yeah, the ownership of the blog, that should be of prime importance. You dont want someone to delete your blog after 5 years of hard work. See the fate of Geocities

Yeah, the discussion was good. Thanks for triggering it off

Cheers…

Thanks for the advice Arun.. my migration to WordPress is almost over. Even got an extra domain name for it. The test site is at http://www.newbtech.net and once i’ve finalised everything, the .com domain name should be migrated over this weekend i hope

I must say, working with PHP is quite different and massaging the template has been a learning exercise heh.

Later!
Dee
