nice read but most need help with understanding how to inherit links, and seo value when moving to a new domain.

my only question is; how will it affect my google PR? so let’s just say your .com account is getting regular hits and you would like to have it monetized but since it’s a .com account, you can’t so you would like to move it to.org, will it still carry its google PR?

Thanks, this was incredibly easy with your help. My blog is two months old, but I see it did not carry over my theme, etc. Not a big deal though, I will likely do a little rebranding as well and tweak the theme myself if possible. Really happy to have this on my own site and generating traffic to my website instead of a separate blog!

Thanks,
Rory

Great article!!! I’m planning on writing one for http://powermywordpress.comand this will inspire me!!!
I’m taking the idea of moving to wordpress.org further as I install wordpress for people who lack the skills and I do this on free hosting!!! This is really the best solution for people who aren’t going to be drawing thousands of visitors a day (which is 98% of people anyway) and who don’t want to pay monthly hosting charges.

I am planning to move my wordpress.com blog to a self-hosted blog.

searching for information on net brought articles with lots of technical stuff in them. they must think everybody speaks their language.

this post makes it all simple. I guess I’ll have more confidence now doing my planned transfer.

thanks!

I had my blog at wordpress.com for about 4 years and decided to move it to my own domain. The post above has the general things outlined – but one should also take care for domain redirection and CEO value. I managed to redirect all post from my wordpress.domain to my new domain at theskykid.com – for which I had to pay 10 $ ( yearly ). Nowadays I get pretty much the same traffic – between 1500 – 2000 visitors a day, but at the same time my google PR standing seem to have decreased . I am trying to get in back to normal.

I love your blog and have referred to it many times. I am confused on this one though. I followed the steps to move my domain from WP.com to WP.org but now what?

It still looks the same. I didn’t have to do anything else. And I can’t log in at .org now – do I still login at .com and assume that the switch has been made?
