Wordpress blog, transferring .com to .org

[copywritingbuzz]

For many years now we've had a wordpress.com blog, and accumulated a lot of links from it as a result. We now have a wordpress.org blog and are keen to move all the old posts on to the new .org site. How can this be done without losing the links from the old .com blog? Thanks in advance.

Nick-       I love simple and easy.  301 redirects or rel canonicals....you will lose a little link juice...but not a lot....

Hope this helps.

Hi Nick!

WordPress now offers a site redirect. The only caveat being, your URL structures need to remain the same to go from .com to .org.  And I think this costs $12 a year.

This is the old way to redirect (its a little more of a hack).

And you can also do a guided transfer to the host of your choice through WordPress for $129 if you just want someone to take care of it.

Let me know if that does it
