Default Changing Your URL

For Blogger Users

Going from one .blogspot address to another .blogspot address
If you have a Blogger blog with external links going to it, you will loose those links if you change your .blogspot address. This could impact your page rank and traffic. Let me give you an example.

If you have a Blogger blog that is located at ABC. blogspot .com, and you change your domain name to XYZ. blogspot. com, all the links that were going to ABC. blogspot .com will be broken. This is not a concern if you have a new blog, because you will not have any links to it yet.

When you change your domain name to XYZ. blogspot. com, you are creating a new blog address ... and the links to ABC. blogspot .com will not be forwarded onto your new address, XYZ. blogspot. com.

Going from a .blogspot address to a .com address

If you choose to change your .blogspot address to a .com address, this won't be a problem. Here's why.

Lol, good question there.

When you change your domain name from a .blogspot.com address to a custom address (for example a .com, .net, .tk, etc...) Blogger will automatically forward your old .blogspot.com url to your new site.

You want to do this sooner than later though if you do choose to make the change. This is so you can linkbuild using the proper (new) domain name.

Side note: One thing you never want to do is change from one .blogspot.com address to another .blogspot.com address (unlike the example above) Blogger will not forward traffic for you and visitors will be lost.
