Domain transfer won't redirect all your posts. So move your blog to your own domain at the earliest. When I moved my blog, there was only about 4 - 5 posts in my old blog. Hence I could edit each post manually and update that my blog has been moved from joycekbabu.wordpress.com to joycebabu.com. So you can find the latest version of this post at http://www.joycebabu.com/path-to-new-post.html That is the case with moving your blog from wordpress.com to self hosted domain. But if you wan't to move a site from one domain to another, you can use a 301 redirect using .htaccess. Such a redirect will ensure that the pagerank of the old location will be moved to your new location. Nope. Domain transfer won’t redirect all your posts.

I was naively thinking that domain transfer would redirect all old traffic to the new host. Oops. When you said you manually edited each post at the old location to point to the new location, I'm not sure exactly what that entailed. Could you give an example of what you did? Thanks!
