The Cheat's Guide To Customizing Blogger Templates. How to Switch from Blogger to WordPress Without Losing Google Traffic - Step by Step Guide. This step-by-step tutorial describes how you can easily move your blogspot blog from Blogger to WordPress while maintaining all your search traffic and Google juice. Your blog (abc.blogspot.com) is hosted on Blogger but you would now like to move your blog from Blogger to WordPress (self-hosted) with a personal domain name like abc.com.
What is the easiest way to switch from Blogger to WordPress without losing search traffic and your existing subscribers? WordPress provides an easy one-click option for importing blog posts and reader comments from Blogger into a new WordPress blog but there’s more to migration than just transferring content. For instance: Some of your articles on the old blogspot blog could be ranking very high in search engines for certain keywords but once you move these articles to a new WordPress blog, you will lose the organic search traffic since the permalinks (or URLs) of your blog posts will change.
Open your Blogger Dashboard and choose Templates. Finally an Easier Way to Pick Giveaway Winners. I love doing my blog giveaways every Saturday, love them so much that I dropped out of BlogHer to do them. But my least favorite part of doing blog contests is definitely selecting the winner. That's because, up until today, my highly technical method was to go to random.org to select the comment number and then to go back to Blogger to count comments.
And when a giveaway gets 200+ entries, counting down the screen to find comment #132 is no fun. Especially when little fingers are tugging at your legs, breaking your concentration and making you start again. That's why I will be eternally grateful to two women who changed my life today. On a recent giveaway, I posted a plea asking if anyone had found a better way to pick winners on Blogger. A few minutes of playing with my code and suddenly, eureka, my comments were numbered. I hope that by sharing this, I'll be spreading the joy! Using Images For Your Social Links On Blogger Posts. It’s understood by those who have blogged for some time that commenting on other blogs is a great way to increase traffic and gain backlinks to a site. Doing so will also help to establish and raise awareness about your site among bloggers within your niche and to help foster good relationships with them.
However, while commenting on blogs is good for your site, choosing the right ones to comment on is very important for the success of your commenting efforts. I first want to point out that commenting on blogs is not just for other blog owners. If you own a website that does not have a blog, you can also benefit just as much from a well placed backlink on a blog post. What you will miss however, because you don’t own a blog, is the ability to create a community out of your visitors. If this is you and your site, I highly recommend that you seriously consider establishing a blog for your site. I spent this weekend at the Home Business Summit and had an incredible time. Now for My Next Trick, I'll Turn Brand into Cash. Back in May 2008, I was on top of the world. Viewers were soaring for my newly launched Yahoo show, TechTicker, my book was about to come out and was boasting a beautifully low three-digit Amazon rank, several of my BusinessWeek columns had been among the most read stories on the site, and traffic on this blog was doubling month-over-month.
(Sure it had only been open two months, but details like that don't matter when you're on top of the world.) I was also in New York doing a slew of press interviews for the launch of my book. Not even a torrent of rain and a wind storm that eviscerated my umbrella could dampen my spirits as I Mary Tyler Moore'd all over Manhattan in a DVF dress feeling like I'd turned the world on with my ability to tell a great story and enviable access to people whose stories actually mattered. But more than that, the synergy was paying off. It's now a year after I started my synergy gambit, and in many ways, Levy is wrong. So what gives? Shamelessly Sassy.
