  My question says it all: Can I link my WordPress.com Blog To My Blogger.com Blog? I believe I am doing that, but now my Blogger blog is not showing up on web searches. Is there a connection?

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

  Of course you can link from one blog to another. If what you’re doing is duplicating content so it’s the same in both blogs, you’ve essentially doomed your Blogspot blog, because any WP.com blog is going to have more googlejuice than a Blogspot blog, AND if it sees duplicated content a search engine will downgrade both blogs significantly. If this is what you are doing, stop immediately and take down the duplicate posts.

  Thanks raincoaster! I believe that is the problem. I will take your advice.

  You’re welcome. The Bulk Edit feature should help speed things up.

  Would linking back with a link from the title from his Blogger blog to his blog here still doom the blogs? I was thinking of doing that with one of my Blogger blogs to my blog here. Nothing else except the title of the post and linking back from it. I’ve started doing that with my Tumblr account. Just the title and it links back to my blog here. I would assume it’s okay because look at Twitter and how people sync their blogs posts to Twitter/Facebook.

  No. LINKING does not doom anything; it helps it (although it’s unlikely a post that’s only title and link could help much, otherwise Tumblr would be King of the World, and it ain’t). DUPLICATING content is what kills the blog.
