I Need Some Help! Wordpress Hates Me!

[bb7400]

I have a problem that I hope you folks can help me solve.

I have had a blog up and running since September of 2006 and in that time I have compiled about 50+ posts and pages on Wordpress. My site, Cash is King, was doing well and I was able to help many people in my niche (if that is truly a niche) and I had a PR5 site!

So about two months ago I got a wild hair up my ....... NOSE ...... And I decided I wanted to make some money with my site. I had good traffic and thought, "why not, it can't hurt to put up some banner ads!"

Well I was wrong..... WORDPRESS Slapped me and my site and will be deleting my site very soon.

This has prompted me to look into way to grow my business online in a different, all be it similar, fashion.

SO HERE IS THE QUESTION.... READY????? FINALLY???

Given this situation, knowing I have to move my blog to a new host, what would you suggest I do?

I want to maintain my high PR ranking but I doubt that is possible, the material will be the same but the age and the back links will have to be developed again. What is a good solution? How can I streamline this process?

I have started moving all the content to my new site In Mortgage and Real Estate Cash is King but the functionality is different!

I am not using wordpress on my blogs so I just browse on the net about your problem..
and here's what I found..

when you are using wordpress.com you are not allowed to add some ads..
read this:
Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org ? The difference. « WordPress.com Forums

I faced a similar situation when I did not read the fine print on wordpress dot com, not for commercial sites. I just took my lumps, and started over, if you can re-direct through the wordpress dot com to your new address, it's under - upgrades - domain mapping, I think it cost around 10.00 to do, but it redirects to your new location.

I than added all the posts to the new site, and eliminated all but 8 posts that were ranking well, I really pushed the new site and a google site map - my new site did redevelop PR, the old one was a 4, the new one within 5 months became a 3.

Best of luck

Thanks for the input!

I will just keep plugging away.

I don't think there is a great answer out there or a quick fix.

I will try those could ideas to see if they work out!

Thanks again.

Wordpress.com doesn't allow you to have make money stuff. I learned that the hard way too. I had to install wordpress via my Cpanel account, export my content to my new domain and
pay for hosting through Hostgator.

JO-
I think that is the approach I was supposed to take. ..... you know my HUGE concern is the PR 4 ranking I had versus my current 0 ranking on BLOGGER!

Backlink- Short-refi

I hope to figure out a quick solution and get my feet back under me!

Yeah, you'll have to start from scratch again from square one. A real pain.isn't it?

Sure is! I wish there was an easier way but I don't see any!

AT LEAST, my articles are still posted and I can go change the web address!

Have you tried any software programs to get back links or anything else?

i found that all of the "free" blogs were either in some way limiting my creativity, by limiting or controlling the widgets and plugins I used, as well as my ability to put "income generating" content on my blog..

I suggest getting your own domain, uploading the wordpress software and developing your own site, this will give "you" all the control

when I hosted my own wordpress blog.. I was also able to bring over my old archive and repost them with the original dates
