10. Don’t Worry About Pagerank

If you fear that you will loose your pagerank, then you are right. But stop thinking more, because you will loose it like temporally basis. When Google bot find your all redirected links you will be updated with existing pagerank on next update.

11. Web Traffic Will Remain Same

You never loose your exist web traffic to your blog. Because your old blogger address redirect to your custom domain name automatically.
