I have already discussed about the Exporting and Importing a blog. Today, I am going to tell you some advantages and disadvantages of Import/Export of blogger posts. Remember that when you export a blog then it means that you are exporting your all posts as well as comments of your blog and when you import that file to your blog, then all comments also publish along with related posts. Exporting is good and sensible decision to save your backup of blog but before importing it you have to remember that this function of blogger has some disadvantages. You can easily export and import your blog from here. The procedure is a bit different because of new blogger interface but no problem, you can check the following snapshot.

You can easily export your blog from here to save the backup.

Exporting a blog has some advantages but importing of a blog will obviously cause for a great loss.

You can export your blog to save your all posts and data within your post. The very benefit of this is that if you lose your posts then you do not need to write again. You can import your blog and all posts and comments will be published again with the same title and in such a way, you will save your work and time.

Another advantage of exporting a blog is that you can also transfer these posts to another blog or wordpress blog if you are going to use wordpress platform.

Importing of blog is useful only if you are importing it to a newly created blog but if you are importing it to your older blog (from which you have exported it) then it is never sensible. There are some important points in the form of disadvantages:

 When you will try to restore your blog by importing then you will never get the old URL of your posts. Blogger will publish your blog with new URL. Although there will a minor change in URL (e.g. www.bloggerzhelp.com/2013/3/oldURL.html will publish as www.bloggerzhelp.com/2013/3/oldURL_342.html) and this will cause 404 (Not Found) error to your old post if it is deleted. Because of this you will lose your all traffic as well as Search Engine Indexed Pages. Because when Google see that the post is not found, that URL will be removed.

Because of new URL, your post views count will start from zero, so because of down reputation, you will not get better position in Google Search and it will take a lot of time to recover. It is like that you are at the position when you have started your blog.

So be careful to import your blog and never delete your old posts.
