  If you have moved from one software platform to another, have your &lt;br&gt; pages kept their names? or do you have different pagenames? In this &lt;br&gt; case you should also have 301 redirected each one to the new &lt;br&gt; counterpart. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;I can see some problems causing duplicate content. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In your navigation you are linking to urls like &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=nofollow href=&quot;http://malebasics.com/resources/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;

Once you&#39;ve changed that &lt;br&gt; naturally you will have the toolbar PR of that other url. &lt;br&gt; Your backlinks will get transferred over time to the new url.

  I don&#39;t understand where you see that. Can you give your url? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In any case robots MUST read and obey the robots.txt file if it &lt;br&gt; exists. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;With blogs on Blogspot you don&#39;t build your own sitemap - it&#39;s is &lt;br&gt; already provided as a feed. You don&#39;t submit it, it&#39;s specified only &lt;br&gt; in the robots.txt file and any robot that wants to use it can do so.
