Cloaking domain question

cloaking, domain

[pmmenneg]

I have a Google Blogger blog that I have attracted a small following to, but their main complaint is the URL.

Currently, it is mylongblognamehere.blogspot.com. I would like it to simply be mylongblognamehere.com (I have this domain), but hosting your own blog with google's blogger beta is not yet possible.

So, in the interim, I am webforwarding mylongblognamehere.blogspot.com to mylongblognamehere.com using zoneedit.com. Things are peachy, but I have a few questions...

What will this type of webforward do to SE bots, etc (will they see this as some malicious page redirect? It does not appear that Zoneedit is sending any proper redirect headers, but rather wrapping the page in a 100% frame)

Would this be better accomplished with me hosting a single PHP page at mylongblognamehere.com that sends a HTTP 307 header to the user and forwards them to mylongblognamehere.blogspot.com? Any other advice?

Thanks!

Simply forwarding will not work. Users will get to your site and see the long name in the URL bar.

Not sure why you would want to use a 307 in any case. You want a 301.

I think the frames kludge is the best you can do.

The idea behind a 307 is that eventually (in a few months), Blogger Beta will likely allow you to host your own blog like they currently do with regular blogger.

Therefore, the temporary redirect (i.e. the 307) will not permanently redirect all traffic (like a 301 does), as in a few months, the long name will be gone (hopefully), and traffic will no longer need to go from thelongbloggername.com to thelongbloggername.blogspot.com. If I make this redirect permanent now, won't that negatively impact when I want to stop re-directing?

Thanks for the input, appreciate any follow-up anyone has.
