I recently migrated from Blogger to Wordpress and am having two major transition issues that are really hurting. Despite literally hours of searching and experimenting, I cannot resolve the following:

ISSUE ONE: I fixed all of my old blogger links to 301 redirect successfully to my WP links (the 2 structures are different and I realized too late), but my old blogger blog is still sometimes visible! (the 2 designs are completely different) I had 31 hits on my blogger site just yesterday. I have updated my privacy settings to hide my blogger blog from search engines and not be visible on blogger. I also removed my custom domain from blogger already as well. HELP! Not sure how to stop this.

ISSUE two: Despite submitting a new site map and reindexing my pages for my WP blog, I am not visible in search engines, although I was very visible previously. In fact, some of my OLD links are showing up. Am I being penalized?? Any thoughts on how to fix.

I think what you'll have to do is setup a custom domain name in Blogger, have it redirect all the traffic to your current domain. Install this plugin wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-blogger-to-wordpress-301-redirector/ and it will redirect incoming traffic from Blogger to the appropriate post.

I can still see some of your blogger posts and they are not all redirecting.

If the content is the same (and it will be since you migrated), it will be penalized. Can you try putting a canonical rel for each of your blogger post which links to your current WordPress post?
