Re: Benefits of your own domain?
Well, I'd advise you to move onto your domain name asap. You won't see any drastic increase of traffic. But,
• People will take you more seriously.
• When you move onto your own domain later, the old links you got for your blog won't be weighed in determining Google PR and you will go through a SEO disaster.
• You will not be able to secure your branding - i.e. someone will buy your domain name that has your unique specific branding. (Like, if I had my blog as rockfuse.blogspot.com, then I'd be lost if one of my competitors buy rockfuse.com
• Your blog address will be easier to remember
• It's not $5 a month - more like $6-$10 a year. (name.com is $5.99, godaddy is $6.95/$9.99 p year)
Hope that helps.
Cheers!
