Site redirect to a specific folder on my new domain
-
I’d like to move away from wordpress.com to my self hosted wordpress blog with minimal SEO damage. I understand I can purchase the site redirect option to achieve this. Two questions about the redirect service:
1) Are these 301 redirects?
2) Is it possible to redirect to mynewdomain.com/en/blog/ instead of simply redirecting to mynewdomain.com?

You can read all about site redirects here http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/
If you change permalink structure on the WordPress.ORG install form what it is at WordPress.COM you will have issues. I’ll tag this thread for a Staff response too. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

Hi there!
To answer your questions:
Are these 301 redirects?
Yes, our Site Redirect upgrade is a 301 redirect.
Is it possible to redirect to mynewdomain.com/en/blog/ instead of simply redirecting to mynewdomain.com?
Yes, I’ve just tested it, and it’s possible to redirect to a subfolder of your domain.
For more info on the upgrade, please see our support page:
Let me know if you have other questions about it. Thanks!
