If the answer is yes, does that change any one your answers to the questions above?

One more question:
Can I redirect danielberhane.com to a subdomain - or, preferably to subdir - on my new website?
{I meant redirect my current blog to: example.com/daniel or daniel.example.com}

If the answer is yes, does that change any one your answers to the questions above?

Thanx again.

2) Yes, you can, and yes, it absolutely will effect the indexing.

3) no, but search engines are smarter than they used to be and they will soon learn you're not a new blog and rank you appropriately.

4) you would have to do it by manually copy/pasting and making new posts, but it's a better idea to just set it to Private; if search engines see the same content on two different blogs, they'll downgrade both of them as spam.

1/How do I transfer subscribers?

2/Can I make major reorganizing/restructuring of categories and tags after I exported to the new site? Wouldn't that affect the indexing on search engines? (as I am counting on redirect)

3/Is there anyway I can maintain/transfer my page rank?

4/ I would rather not delete the existing blog as I wish to keep it as back up for a while and reactivate it after a few months as a personal archive (once the new site becomes fully functional & gets dedicated admin hired). But how do I keep it updated with contents from the new site?

Thank you very much.

I have had a page rank of 3 for ages and no matter what I do, it never improves.

Does anyone have a better Page Rank ?

What do I need to do to improve my Page Rank ?

If someone can take a look at my Blog, that would be really great!

Cheers

Maybe "TeamOyeniyi" wasn't a good choice of URL, given no-one can spell or understands Oyeniyi, but I think it is WAY too late to change that now. :(

You DO want the name to be easy to remember and spell, not real obscure either. Another group I belong to had problems getting traffic as many members could not spell "yacht" (it's a club) and things are much nicer now that we use just a four letter abbreviation of the name.

So it all depends and writing down a few versions and different names is good - try them out and see how they sound - how they look -

trying to figure out why one package counts a few more or few less page views is in my opinion a total waste of effort

Agreed. No two or more stats programs will never agree. Each one of them decides how and what they will count as a hit. Some count page views and some count unique visitors. Therefore, use any of the stats counters only as a general guide to hits and I don't fret about stats at all.

A stats application that isnot running on the same servers your blog is on is going to be susceptible to wild fluctuations. This is because all hits have to be transferred over the internet to different servers, and there are literally thousands of things that can go wrong between the server your blog is on and the server at the stats place. There's also the possibility that the software or hardware at the stats provider's site may be broken and not recording, or counting things as intended.

The bottom line for WordPress.com bloggers is that we Volunteers can't address specific site stats issues. If we have any concerns about the accuracy of our stats we contact Staff.
