How To Upgrade To Domain Without Losing Rank,shares,traffic - Blogger

how to add custom domain in blogger 101helper


Upgrading to a domain is common now a days and people usually upgrade after successful blogging. Only a few people buy domains without blogging they directly start from domains but most of people do blogging first and after earning some amount from blog, they spend this amount to upgrade their blog and it is a good step too because it improves image of a site online, people trust it more and traffic is also increased. But after upgrading to a domain most of people are confused about further steps to be taken, some of these steps are how to replace all my links in Google Search Results, How to improve traffic not lose traffic, How to maintain rank after buying a domain etc. So in this post I am going to show you how to replace all the links in Google Search Results and improve traffic and how to upgrade to a domain without losing rank and shares.


Why Do I Replace Links In Google Search Results After Buying A Domain?

Many people think that after upgrading to a domain from blogger, you need to submit your new site URL and Sitemap to Webmaster tools but its not right because it will not replace the existing blogger URLs in search results instead of it new URLs will be indexed and your site could be considered as Spam and could be penalized. So after upgrading a domain you need to replace all the existing links not index new links. It will benefit you in many ways like it will not let you lose your traffic, your rank and your visitors will also recognize that you have upgraded to a domain name. Moreover your google+ recommendations will also be transferred from your blogspot to your domain links.

How To Replace Links In Google Search Results After Buying A Domain?

STEP 1: SUBMIT NEW DOMAIN TO WEBMASTER TOOLS

Step 1: Go to Google Webmaster tools.

Step 2: Click on   Add A Property   and add your site URL

Your request will be processed soon and your blog links in Google Search Results will be soon replaced with the new domain links. Unfortunately in Bing and Yandex webmaster tools doesn't allow change of address so you need to delete the old blog and submit your new domain in webmaster tools.

How To Add Twitter Cards In Blogger?

1. Summery Card:

To install twitter summery card in your blog include the code given below in your template after <head>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<meta content='summary' name='twitter:card'/>
<meta content='@101helperblog' name='twitter:site'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' name='twitter:title'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' name='twitter:description'/>
<meta expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl' name='twitter:image'/>

Replace @101helperblog with your blog's twitter ID. You can check if your card is working fine or no by either tweeting your post or by using Twitter Card Validator.

2. Summery Card With Large Image:

Copy the below code and paste it in your template after <head> and save your template.
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"/>
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@101helperblog"/>
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@101helperblog"/>
<meta name="twitter:title" expr:content='data:blog.pageName'/>
<meta name="twitter:description" expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription'/>
<meta name="twitter:image" expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl'/>
</b:if>

Replace @101helperblog with your's(twitter:creator) and your blog's(twitter:site) twitter ID.

3. App Card:

This card is not for everyone because I don't think that bloggers have ios app. But maybe those who buy a domain later after successful blogging, the may create ios app. So this card is for those who have ios app and they want to increase their downloads. Simple include the below code in your template just after <head>.
<meta name="twitter:card" content="app"/>
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@TwitterDev"/>
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Cannonball is the fun way to create and share stories and poems on your phone. Start with a beautiful image from the gallery, then choose words to complete the story and share it with friends."/>
<meta name="twitter:app:country" content="US"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:name:iphone" content="Cannonball"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:id:iphone" content="929750075"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="cannonball://poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:name:ipad" content="Cannonball"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:id:ipad" content="929750075"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:url:ipad" content="cannonball://poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:name:googleplay" content="Cannonball"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:id:googleplay" content="io.fabric.samples.cannonball"/>
<meta name="twitter:app:url:googleplay" content="http://cannonball.fabric.io/poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>

After adding this code in your site or blog below <head> make following changes.
1. <meta name="twitter:card" content="app"/>
2. <meta name="twitter:site" content="YOUR SITE'S TWITTER ID"/>
3. <meta name="twitter:description" content="SITE DESCRIPTON"/>
4. <meta name="twitter:app:country" content="APP COUNTRY"/>
5. <meta name="twitter:app:name:iphone" content="YOUR APP'S IPHONE NAME"/>
6. <meta name="twitter:app:id:iphone" content="YOUR APP ID FOR IPHONE"/>
7. <meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="YOUR APP'S IPHONE URL E.G: cannonball://poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>
8. <meta name="twitter:app:name:ipad" content="YOUR APP'S IPHONE NAME"/>
9. <meta name="twitter:app:id:ipad" content="YOUR APP ID FOR IPAD"/>
10. <meta name="twitter:app:url:ipad" content="YOUR APP'S IPAD URL E.G: cannonball://poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>
11. <meta name="twitter:app:name:googleplay" content="YOUR APP'S GOOGLEPLAY NAME"/>
12. <meta name="twitter:app:id:googleplay" content="YOUR APP'S GOOGLEPLAY ID E.G: io.fabric.samples.cannonball"/>
13. <meta name="twitter:app:url:googleplay" content="YOUR APP'S GOOGLEPLAY URL E.G: http://cannonball.fabric.io/poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>

4. Player Card:

Player card is for those sites which have videos or audio content. If you have a blogger having video content then you can install this card in your blog. Just copy the below code and paste it in each of your post's Html editor not in text editor or in template. After pasting the code below just make changes according to your needs. If you have videos hosted on youtube then you don't need this card because Youtube has installed the cards, you don't need to install player card.
<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'/>
<meta name="twitter:card" content="player"/>
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@TWITTER ID"/>
<meta name="twitter:title" content="TITLE OF VIDEO"/>
<meta name="twitter:description" content="DESCRIPTION OF VIDEO"/>
<meta name="twitter:image" content="IMAGE URL FOR VIDEO"/>
<meta name="twitter:player" content="PAGE URL CONTAINING VIDEO"/>
<meta name="twitter:player:width" content="480"/>
<meta name="twitter:player:height" content="480"/>
<meta name="twitter:player:stream" content="URL OF VIDEO E.G: Yourvideo.com/video.mp4"/>
<meta name="twitter:player:stream:content_type" content="video/mp4"/>
<meta name="twitter:player:stream" content="http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/prog_index.m3u8"/>
 <meta name="twitter:player:stream:content_type" content="video/mp4;codecs=&quot;avc1.42E01E1, mp4a.40.2"/>

One more thing about this card that after implantation of code you need to request Twitter for approval. So go to Twitter Card Validator to first confirm that your card is implanted correctly or no and after that you have to send request for approval.

After validating your player card you will see following page, click on Request Approval.

NOTE: Include the above code only once in a page for a video. Also use https for every link you add inside meta tags. Otherwise you won't get your player card approved!

I hope you found this post helpful. I have used all the meta tags in my template to check if they are working fine or no and I found every tag working fine. But if you have any problem ask me or if you have any info about Twitter Cards share it with me so that I can add it in this post.
