Actually this was an issue for this same blog. How to redirect my permalinks from blogger to wordpress without loosing my previous search engine links (and obviously traffic) and without any 401 error.
Krama i.news was first installed on blogger and after a year I decided to move on wordpress (for more flexibility). Since this update I had two blogs with the same name (but on different domain) and I was missing some serious traffic (stuck to blogger). I tried posts on previous blog like ‘This blog has been moved’ or ‘The blog has been updated…click here (http://blog.krama.tv)’ but I was still missing traffic cause of previous search engine indexing.
Googling around I came to a terrific solution that redirects my previous blogger permalinks into wordpress’ but I had to follow some serious steps.
MAJOR STEP when updating your blog
You must keep in mind to import your blogger stuff into wordpress using the wordpress blog importer. This way you can import all your posts, comments, etc. from blogger to wordpress.
NEXT STEPS
It is better to host your wordpress blog in a domain of your choice. I moved my blog into a subdomain for eg. blog.krama.tv
Then you must put the following code into your old blogger blog.
(attn. you must switch to classic template)
<html>
<head>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
window.location.replace("http://blog.krama.tvg/");
-->
</script>
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=http://blog.krama.tv/"/>
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="10"/>
<meta name="Description" content="301 moved permanently"/>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW"/>
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW"/>
</noscript>
<title>301 moved permanently</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>Krama i.news</h1>
<p>has been moved to new address</p>
<a href=" http://blog.krama.tv"> <h1>http://blog.krama.tv</h1></a>
<p>Sorry for inconvenience... </p>
</center>
</body>
</html>
In the above html code you must change the web address from http://blog.krama.tv to your NEW blog web address.
Done with blogger part now it’s time to handle permalinks in wordpress.
Download Blogger To Wordpress 1-2-1 Redirection Plugin.
Login in your new wordpress blog and go to plugins section.
Click Add New -> Upload and point the .zip file of the plugin. Click install
Don’t activate the plugin yet because it needs some modification (the developer ask us to do some editing manually; he’s going to fix it in later version)
So, go to plugins section, find the Blogger To Wordpress redirection plugin and click edit.
On next screen put your old blogspot blog address next to $oldBlogURL variable! For ease search rb286.blogspot.com and replace it with your blogspot address.
Then click Update File link their to save changes.
Go back to plugins page and this time Activate the plugin!
That’s it guys, your blogger permalinks are redirect to wordpress and you don’t loose traffic.
Hope this is helpfull, for this blog worked excellent! Thanks to the developer!
