So…your experiment in blogging has really taken off, and now you’re wanting to move from Blogger to a self-hosted WordPress installation. Luckily, you can do so without losing the traffic you worked so hard to build. The last thing you want, when moving your blog to a new home, is to tank your Google ranking and traffic flow. And with Google deleting Blogger based and hosted blogs daily, the need and task of moving to a self-hosted WordPress can be very daunting.

At CrushLabs, Inc., we’ve spent several years helping clients move from Blogger based and hosted blogs to a self-hosted WordPress installations, without leaving their rank and traffic behind.
And we can help you too!

Blogger is a great option for beginners since it now offers the option of registering your own domain name. However for flexibility, professionalism, and ease of use WordPress still comes out on top.
Not only does a self-hosted WordPress installation allow you to have ad space for advertising, but you can add as many as you want. You’re also able to add all of the cool Search Engine Optimization tools and plugins that you’re not able to add on Blogger and even the free WordPress.com version. The free WordPress.com is not as flexible as the self-hosted WordPress.org and because of this, we can help you in bringing out the best in your blog site.

• During the migration, we will keep your permalink structure intact so that there is no interruption of your traffic and no loss of Google power.
• We can optimize your WordPress blog to make it load faster and improve site rankings in Google and other Search Engines. An extra security layer will be added to further protect your blog from hackers.
• Our basic SEO service includes making the URL structure of your blog Search Engine and user friendly, fixing the problem of duplicate content.
• We will also make sure that your content is easy visible to Search Engines and thus making your Blog rank higher.

Need a little search engine love? Want to make sure that your website is Search Engine Optimized?

Liam Scanlan, author of The 12 Habits of Highly Effective Websites: A Primer on Search Engine Optimization for Non-Technical Executives and founder of SiteLeads.net, a website consulting and content firm, shares five simple secrets to search engine optimization.

1. Get a good domain. It’s best if your domain relates to your product, advises Scanlan. “If you are selling handmade dolls online, but your domain is acmeproducts.com, that doesn’t help the search engine.” Don’t forget that you can register multiple domain names. To avoid running into issues with search engines that may overlook numerous domains pointed to the same page, direct them to separate landing pages with links that will draw visitors into the site. That can help your rank.
2. Take care with titles. Scanlan says the biggest and most common mistake that small businesses make in their SEO is having an incomplete title or missing title tag. Most sites are created using traditional HTML editors that don’t flag weaknesses in site creation, he says. Plugging in page titles is an easy way to attract search engine algorithms that look for titles on multiple pages of the site. Using the doll example again, it’s far better for one of your pages to be titled “Barbie” than “Page 7″ if you’re targeting the doll-buying set.
3. Use keywords wisely. Yan Lyansky has bumped up the Google rank of his $3 million company, Downtube, a folding-bicycle manufacturer and distributor in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, by integrating keywords throughout his website. “You can’t have ‘folding bicycle’ [over and over] or people won’t read it,” says Lyansky, 37. But the company does include those words in product titles and descriptions, page headers and wherever else they can be used without being a turnoff to customers.
4. Make your contact information obvious. To prevent spam, some companies design their contact information as a graphic so that it can’t be picked up by programs trolling for new e-mail addresses. That’s a mistake, says Scanlan. “You need to make your contact information easy to find online, especially if you’re trying to get your ranking up for a specific region.” Opt for text-based contact info instead and embed e-mail information in a hotlink.
5. Link up. The more relevant links you have between your site and others in your industry, the higher the rank, says Scanlan. Lyansky beefs up his results by building pages that compare the attributes of his bikes to his competitors–and including links to those competitors. He says, “When someone searches for one of our competitors, this helps our site come up pretty high in the rankings.”
