  I am interested in the WordAds program. But my blog is not on a custom domain. If I move it to a custom domain to be eligible for WordAds. Will my viewers still be able to find me using their existing browser bookmarks and will I lose anything, like comments, in the upgrade?

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

  If you get a custom domain, you’ll lose Google pagerank for about four months as people stop linking to the old URL and slowly pick up linking to the new one. The old URL will still work, bookmarks and subscriptions still work, and content and comments will not be affected.

  Note that there is no guarantee your blog will be accepted if it’s on a domain. See here > http://wordads.co/signup/
  Note that we Volunteers do not assist with any WordAds issues you must contact WordAds Staff directly http://wordads.co/

  When you purchase a domain mapping upgrade all the changes is the URL. The content stays exactly where it is now and nothing at all is lost. All those who click the old URLs anywhere on the internet will be seamlessly directed to the same content under the new domain URLs. That’s why we purchase the domain mapping upgrade.
