Satishmania

I have been trying to migrate my blogger blog to Wordpress for quite sometime. I have googled and found various methods of doing so. However I seem to be facing the same issue over and over again. After importing the blog I lose the pagerank/SEO juice and also none of my permalinks point to my old blogger links even though I have changed the permalink format of my Wordpress to that of Blogger before migration. Now there is a new problem. I get an “Internal Server Error” if I enter the URL of my Wordpress. I tried changing the DNS settings for my domain and creating CNAME and A Record but I cant even get to my login screen at http://satishmania.utdisa.com. For the moment I have switched back to Blogger until I find a solution.

After almost nine months of blogging I have decided to move my blog to a custom domain. Here after all my new and existing posts will be redirected to satishmania.com. My ultimate aim is to switch to a custom domain on Wordpress after about 2 months. I also have an FTP account which I’ll be implementing after I move to Wordpress as using FTP on blogger makes me ineligible to import my blog to Wordpress. The reason I moved to a custom domain before switching to Wordpress is to preserve my PR, Backlinks and the SEO juice. In about two months most of the serach engines would have updated my URLs to the custom domain thereby preserving my traffic which won’t require me to start from scratch after I switch to Wordpress. All my blog visitors will be auto-redirected to satishmania.com. For those of you interested in importing your blog to Wordpress here are some useful links.
