Working at Home on the Internet

Your Opinion Needed… Should I Import Posts On MCBS?

Over a year ago, I moved the Working at Home on the Internet Blog from Blogger to the WordPress platform. When I did that, I already had built a small loyal readership. I had a few (around 20) RSS subscribers and when I changed the URL on FeedBurner, I think that most of them didn’t even notice or didn’t care as long as the feed was still active.

I think I took a little hit on Page Rank if memory serves correctly, but with a PR 2-3 it didnt matter much. There were a lot of duplicate posts since I imported all previous content to the new platform. All in all it was the right move, even though I still get some hits and referrals from the old Blogger Blog.

Here’s the Dilemma…

As  most of you probably know, I started the My Computer Back in Service Blog as a platform for my computer consulting business. What most of you probably Don’t Know is that I have had the Joe’s Freeware Finds Blog since April 2006. It contains between 80-90 posts (if you can call them that, most are links to useful programs with a short description), but a lot of them could be useful to readers of the New Blog.

Search Engine Traffic is almost non-existant, but I do have around 20 RSS Subscribers that have remained pretty loyal since the beginning.

Your Opinion Needed…

• Should I import all the old posts from Freeware Finds and just close the old subdomain to save space on the server?
• Should I import the old posts as a separate page on the new Blog?
• Should I keep the Freeware Finds Blog, just not add anything and use a referral link to the new Blog?
• Should I just close the old Blog and just forget about it and put a forward on the URL to MCBS?
• Any other Suggestions?

This is not a poll, this is an honest question for the people whose opinion I trust most, YOU. Please either respond in comments, or you can always send me an e-mail.

Thanks,

Joe
