Today I am going to tell you about Custom Redirects, when to use it and how to do a custom redirect in BlogSpot's blog. Very few new bloggers will know about it, but it is an important feature of Blogspot.
For SEO of your blog and for better user experience you need to know about custom redirects. In blogging, you write new posts every day, update or delete old posts. Because of which there are broken links or such links in your blog on which a 404 message shows.
You can fix such links with custom redirects tool, but first, you have to understand what is custom redirects and how it works.
Custom Redirects kya hai
Redirect in Blog means to divert an invalid webpage or URL to a valid webpage or URL. Custom Redirects is a feature of BlogSpot through which we can redirect one post of our blog to another post.
Meaning you send traffic coming in one URL to another place so that your visitors can get the right information and their user experience is good.
Through custom redirects you can redirect only the URL of the same blog, you will not be able to redirect your blog to any other website/blog.
When should I do redirects?
1: If you are changing the permalink of the old post in the blog for some reason, in that case, you can redirect the custom. When you change, update or delete the old permalink, because of being indexed in Google, it shows in the old link search engine and whenever a visitor clicks on that link, he gets a 404 error message. In this situation, you can redirect the old link to the new link so that the traffic coming in your old link also comes in the new link.
2: There are some posts in the blog which become outdated after some time. That post is not currently in use, you can redirect that type of post.
3: Many times we make a spelling mistake in our URL and our attention goes to it after a long time. If you change that URL then you will lose the ranking, for this the best option is you redirect the old URL from the new URL.
4: If you are shifting your blog from Blogger to WordPress, then the permalink structure of both is different.
Blogger: https://oyepandeyji.com/2018/08/custom-redirects.html
WordPress: https://oyepandeyji.com/custom-redirects.html
Here you can change the permalink of your old post and redirect it.
5: If your blog has broken links and it gets an error of 404, then you can also provide value to your visitors by redirecting such type of links.
