    I just upgraded my existing blog. If I claim my free domain, what happens to all my existing links, especially those from other sites to my blog?

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

    Hi there,

    When you register your free domain and set it as your primary address, all your existing links will be automatically redirected to the new domain. This means that if someone clicks on a link to your old .wordpress.com address, they will be seamlessly redirected to the new domain. This includes links from other websites and search engines as well.

    WordPress.com takes care of these redirects behind the scenes, so you don’t need to worry about any potential loss of traffic or broken links. Your content, comments, and media will all remain intact, and your followers will still be able to access your blog without any issues.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance with registering your domain. I’m here to help.
