WordPress Platform gives you a very easy single-click option for importing yout blog posts and comments from Blogger Blog to a brand new WordPress blog but there's more than just transferring the content and other data. For instance: - Some of your articles on the old blogspot online journal could be positioning high in web indexes for specific magic words yet once you move these articles to another Wordpress blog, you will lose the natural pursuit activity since the permalinks (or Urls) of your blog entries will change.
- Individuals go to your online journal through web indexes, program bookmarks and referrals from other sites that have connected to your site pages. In the event that you move to Wordpress, Blogger won't naturally divert these guests to your new site.
