After Migrating from Blogger to WordPress, your thinking is wrong that you migrated all of your blog. You only migrated posts/comments but not the visitors. To get all visitors on your new WordPress blog you have to work hard more as you think.
As you know that in BLogger, your feeds URLs of atom, rss, comments are totally different like as http://www.example.blogspot.com/atom.xml
, http://www.example.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
, http://www.example.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
, http://www.example.blogspot.com/rss.xml
, http://www.example.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default
, http://www.example.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss
but in WordPress, its like http://www.example.com/feed/atom/
, http://www.example.com/feed/
, http://www.example.com/comments/feed/
. So you have to redirect all blogger feed url to new one as if any one is reading your feed via your feed url will get 404 errors if you will not redirect him that can make your seo down and low visitors. Here now after following our tutorial, you can redirect blogger feeds url to WordPress feeds url so if even anybody still hit Blogger feeds url then he will be on your WordPress feeds url.
This is a 301 redirect code that contain blogger feed pattern so it will redirect all feed links to new one automatically. So now move on and garb the code and remove all your Google WebMaster errors and 404 errors too and make your SEO as it was.
