Making sense of blogging and social media

Blogspot or Googleblog
Tuesday, 12 July 2011

News is and it says that Google intends to change several non-Google name brands (Blogger and Picasa) as an effort to unify its brand and integrate all the services into Google +. Google intends to rename Picasa as “Google Photos” and Blogger may become “Google Blogs.”

Old blogger users are wondering how will this affect their blog SEO. What will happen to Page Rank and Permanent post URLs if the blogspot domains change into .googleblog.com. Any idea?

A friend also argued that Blogger's brand needs a lift up because it has become home to many spammers and link builders who create random blogs and then just leave them as it it. He thinks that the name change will also come with a much stronger and strict spam protection and thousands of blogs will get suspended.

lets see what happens

For Google, changing .blogspot.com into googleblogs.com will be just like renaming a file on a PC. They better know how to teach their bots(yes I believe that).
