Hey friends , I want to confirm regarding one thing , i have recently changed my blog url name, So i have updated the new url at the google webmaters. So shat i want to confirm is :

There is verification details showing in the google webmasters for both of the old and new urls - So can i delete the Old blogspot url - As the content , data , al things are same in the both - only blogger domain name changed .

Second thing i want to confirm regarding that there is sitemap already submitted of the old blog url and it is showing in the google webmasters, and i have submitted the new google sitemap url - So what i want to confirm is can i delete the old one .

And one more thing i want to confirm from my knowledge, if i not delete the sitemap and verification file in google webmasters , Does google index the url from google webmasters ?

    First you tell me you change website blog name or free blogging service blog name?
    If you change website blog name, than their is an option in google webmaster to change the site address. Use this features and change the site address. Or if this features not work you add new address and verify it.

    Sitemap - You blog address is new, so your sitemap URL also new so its never be an issue.


    But for this facility is not for free blogs.

    Best thing you can do it is delete the older account i.e. onlinetshirtdesignmaker.blogspot.in from webmaster tool and add new one designert-shirtsonline.blogspot.in and submit the sitemap again for google bot to crawl the pages.

      i have already done the same .But still the old blogspot url verification & sitemap file is still available in google webmasters and i have updated the new ones also-

      So what do u say do i have to delete the old blogspot url verification & sitemap filesfrom google webmasters - and one more thing i gave already deleted the main old url from google webmasters - But verification file & sitemap file is showing inside the google webmasters along with old URL.
