  Hello,
  I have just mapped my domain to my wordpress.com blog, and made it primary. Now my domain is appearing in google searches. Now my question is that if in future i am unable to retain my this domain, then shall the google links with the phoxis.org domain be dead?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Next question is that, because now phoxis.org is my primary domain, will google still index phoxis.wordpress.com ? I mean will google see these two as different sites ?

  Google will see these two as different sites.

  Already indexed phoxis.wordpress.com posts/pages will be listed as phoxis.wordpress.com until they are re-crawled and Google sees that the URL has changed.

  New phoxis.org posts/pages will be listed as phoxis.org.

  With Google Webmaster Tools you can change the address manually, essentially turning phoxis.wordpress.com into phoxis.org, provided you already have registered phoxis.wordpress.com with Google Webmaster Tools.
