So as all of you know that i shifted from blogspot hosted blog to a custom domain blog.
Just two days later i checked google webmaster tools. The sitemap was giving an error on all my submitted sitemaps. As shown in the image

Which actually made sense, as i was using the old url in the webmaster tools and my feed has all the addresses pointing to http://www.thefurobiker.com links. Which obviously dont match with each other.

So the second thing i tried was creating a new account for the new domain. Now the problems should have been fine, right? Wrong! My settings in the Blogger settings were set to my feedburner address.. And Webmaster tools only accepts the XML feeds, and it was taking my XML feeds(redirected to feedburner) as a webpage and hence was unable to read that!!

The next thing i tried was submitting the feed URL as atom.xml?redirect=false this should have prevented the redirect of the feed to feedburner.. But i think there are some glitches in the google custom domain redirecting. So instead of finding anything that can be a 404, it redirects the link to the homepage!! And due to some reason i was not able to work with it!

Final Solution!!

1) Check in your domain settings if [[Redirect all to www] has been activated or not. This feature basically displays your address as http://www.thefurobiker.com even if you enter http://thefurobiker.com . Its good to have a consistent domain address to have better rankings in Google

2) So if you are not able to find the above feature then just submit your URL as http://www.your-domain-name.com to google webmaster tools. If you have deactivated the above feature then you can add either http://your-domain-name.com or http://www.your-domain-name.com to google webmaster tools.

3) Submit your feed as atom.xml?redirect=false . And check back few hours later. If it is giving any errors, then you have to remove post feed redirect url (refer to image above, the box should be kept blank) and then just submit atom.xml as your feed

4) Finally your feed will work now. Go back and pat on your back and make yourself a big tub of popcorn and grab some beer! It was indeed a tough task!
