To Move Or Not To Move??

hello guys ,
i have a question about changing to custom domain for Blogger .
my blog is blog,blogspot,com and i want to make it www,Blog,com , now im aware that google will redirect traffic to the new domain but what im asking about is the backlinks that i spent lots of time building them for the old domain should i change them one by one to the new address ? or google will count them automatically ? is going to be like starting all over?
also did anybody changed his domain and found out that he made a big mistake?

i have about 7500 vistors a day and this blog is an important income source for me thats why i dont want to mess things up if decide to buy new domain .

You do not need to change the address in all the links. Instead of it if you want those links on the new page instead of old page then redirect that old page to the new one as 301 permanent redirect.

301 passes 99% of the link juice and authority to the new site. I have done it a couple of times successfully. Go ahead and do it . You won't loose anything.

I think you need not to edit your backlinks. Blogger will redirect all the visitors to your new domain. Try to make new backlinks for your new domain.

when you will convert the blog in to the custom domain then Google will say that they will redirect all the information for you. that's Google opinion. and i believe Google don't lie.
