I am running a blog at http://digitizor.wordpress.com, 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:
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?
2) when should you ideally switch to the custom domain blog (running wordpress.org software). I wanted to know this in terms of hits
thank you
It would be difficult to spell an exact moment. 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.
If you switch now, you can monetize your blog.
Google indexes blogs rather properly, as far as I am aware

its normally difficult to decide. one normally starts on a free service like blogger as most are unsure whether the blog will click or not. and after it starts getting good traffic, one wants to shift to a hosted blog. but by that time there is so much to lose in terms of traffic, google ranking etc that the step becomes difficult. i feel that if one is sure that one will blog regularly, one should start a hosted blog and take an annual plan of a cheap host and it should not cost more than usd 70-80 for the year. consider it an investment and blog with cool mind. once the blog is successful, the plan can be easily upgraded.
