: Google Rank and Domain redirection I have a blog on Blogspot (owned by Google). I would like to host it under my own domain. So I would consider 3 options: Create a Domain redirect to Blogspot

Its a slightly longer process that the 3 options you've suggested, although still doable.

Blogspot won't allow 301 redirects, so you can't simply redirect the whole site + link juice.

You will need to tell Google that the duplicate content (i.e. your new site - assuming you have copied all content over already) is the most relevant. You do this using the rel=canonical tag. This will need to be done for every post/page that you have on your Blogspot blog.

Once you've implemented the rel=canonical tags on all your pages and posts, your new site will begin to rank in place of the old Blogspot one.

Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to implement this exact strategy www.seochat.com/c/a/search-engine-optimization-help/move-a-blogspot-blog-to-another-host-using-link-rel-canonical-tags/
