Blogspot.com doesn’t redirect to my new domain. Cause & Solution

Many new bloggers worry, why their blogspot.com domain is not redirecting to new domain that they have recently bought. It is very easy to set up a new domain for blogspot blogger. If you buy domain from blogger then don’t have to do any thing, everything will set automatically. Blogger partners and domain hosts Godaddy or enom will make the DNS setting automatically and you don’t have to do any thing. Just pay for the domain and wait for some time. You will see that now you can access your blog by writing the new domain in your address bar.

If you notice that your blogspot.com domain is not redirecting to your new “.com” or “.net” domain then don’t worry. It is perfectly normal. Wait for three days then blogger will automatically make a 301 redirect and your old blogspot.com url will be redirected to new domain.

You will notice that you can access your blog by typing 4 addresses.

1. http://newdomain.com

2. http://www.newdomain.com

3. http://yourblog.blogspot.com

4. http://www.yourblog.blogspot.com

all the above addresses will show your blog but none of these will redirect to same address “www.newdomain.com”. If you view your blog through blogger dash board, your will see a message “your blog is in transition”. This message clearly states that after 3 days your blogspot address will be redirected to your new address.

After a long difficult wait of three days you will be happy to see that all the other three blog addresses (newdomain.com, yourblog.blogspot.com, www.yourblog.blogspot.com) will redirect to single address www.newdomian.com. A permanent 301 redirect will have been automatically created by blogger for you and you don’t have to worry at all. All the old BlogSpot.com links will redirect to your new domain address and all these links will be counted by the Google webmaster. Your page rank will drop to zero but soon return to previous page rank after the next page rank update.

If you have same issue and your blog’s blogspot.com domain is not redirecting to your new domain address then don’t worry just wait for three days and your problem will solve automatically.
