  A month ago,I moved my blog from Blogger http://slnewbiediary.blogspot.com to http://slmarion.wordpress.com, leaving the original posts in place. I am still getting more visitors to the old blog, as Google searches point to it rather than to my new blog. How can I encourage Google to direct searches to the new blog?

  Unfortunately there’s no way to do this. Blogger/blogspot doesn’t have a redirect feature.

  Thanks, but that wasn’t exactly my question. Where the same post appears on both the old Blogger site and my new WordPress site, Google searches still point to the old one. I would like to find a way of making Google point to the WordPress blog.

  I guess deleting all but a referral post would be the best.

  And search the forums here for blog promotion which includes things like submitting your blog to search engines, signing up to Technorati, etc.

  Hope that helps. :)
