But, I suggest that if you're making good hits, you make the switch ASAP. Otherwise, all your good content will continue to remain pointed at the WordPress.com blog.</p> <p>If you switch now, you can monetize your blog.</p> <p>Google indexes blogs rather properly, as far as I am aware </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/when-is-the-right-time-to-switch-from-worpress-hosted-blog-to-your-own-domain-bl#post-4639 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:46:29 +0000 Anonymous 4639@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I am running a blog at <a href="http://digitizor.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://digitizor.wordpress.com</a>, and off late have been getting good hits. But the fear of losing hits on switching from custom domain is keeping me back. My queries are:</p> <p>1) once i switch to my own domain, will the google page indexing be as effective as it used to be while my blog was on wordpress?</p> <p>2) when should you ideally switch to the custom domain blog (running wordpress.org software). I wanted to know this in terms of hits</p> <p>thank you </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/need-advice-swtiching-from-blogger-to-wordpress#post-2438 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:53:40 +0000 Anonymous 2438@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>thanks sparx, labnol &#38; kiran... you guys rock :))</p> <p>my blog is live at <a href="http://www.bombaylives.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.bombaylives.com</a>, do check it out &#38; share your inputs.</p> <p>tnx &#38; god bless </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/need-advice-swtiching-from-blogger-to-wordpress#post-2391 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:33:49 +0000 Anonymous 2391@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Who are you using for hosting and did you create the database. When you create the database and set the password it should normally tell you that the databse is created and the location or the path for the database. depending on how your hosting provider handels it it might be mysql.yourdomain.com, mysql.hostingprovidersdomain.com or something else.</p> <p>Please contact your hosing provider to find this info </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/need-advice-swtiching-from-blogger-to-wordpress#post-2390 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:49:44 +0000 Anonymous 2390@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>great kiran.........i will give it a try...but its given " localhost "...can you suggest how it could be ?? </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/need-advice-swtiching-from-blogger-to-wordpress#post-2388 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:39:53 +0000 Anonymous 2388@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I agree with Sparx, $60 for install is way TOO MUCH. Most of the reputed providers give free one click installs for wordpress.</p> <p>To AmitBanerjee, are you providing the correct database path. Some times its set to "localhost" by default but you need to change it to the path provided by you service provider. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/need-advice-swtiching-from-blogger-to-wordpress#post-2386 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:19:17 +0000 Anonymous 2386@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>But is it safe to give ur username and password to them for the quick 5 minute installation ?

There are plugins and themes galore, and it's relatively easy to customise. The support base is huge and you'll find loads of people who would be glad to help with any queries.</p> <p>I'm afraid I can't answer the part about AdSense revenues, but before you decide on shelling out the $60, I suggest you take a deep look at your site's statistics and what you're aiming to get from the switch. If you're unsure, I suggest getting an account at <a href="http://www.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wordpress.com</a> for free to play around with the interface and see if it's what you're looking for.</p> <p>If your provider Netfirms is charging you $60 merely to install WP, and you'd like to save the cash, I suggest attempting to install WP yourself. It's fairly straightforward and as long as you (your host) meets <a href="http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/" rel="nofollow">the minimum requirements</a>, the install ought to be hassle-free.</p> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress" rel="nofollow">Installation Guide</a></p> <p>you can still use WordPress by requesting the WordPress <a href="http://install4free.wordpress.net/" rel="nofollow">Install4Free team</a> do the installation for you for free </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/need-advice-swtiching-from-blogger-to-wordpress#post-2381 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:49:11 +0000 Anonymous 2381@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>dear all,<br /> I currently have a blog on blogger (<a href="http://bombaylives.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bombaylives.blogspot.com/</a>)</p> <p>I want to move it to Wordpress, Just wanted to seek advice from you whether its a good idea &#38; what is the cheapest option and doest the switch change the Adsense revenues .</p> <p>My domain is currently hosted wid netfirms.com &#38; they charge around 60 USD for installing Wordpress is it worth it.</p> <p>would appreciate your help and pointers</p> <p>thanks.<br /> satish </p>
