This tutorial will guide you on
redirecting your blogger blog to an external website. By using this
method, you will be implementing 301 redirect to your whole blog, which
will redirect the visitors, and bots to an external website so before
you implement this be very sure about it. Usually this method is used by
the bloggers when they manage to receive decent number of visitors on
their blog and intend to take it to the next level so they hop on to
self-hosted WordPress.
However, if you are looking for a
solution to fix broken links problem then you should probably apply
custom redirects in blogger. On a precautionary basis, I would suggest
to take a backup of your blogger template and follow these steps:
Step 1: Login to your blogger account.
Step 2: Go to the template and edit HTML
Step 3: Now press (CTRL + f) to find the <head> section of your template.
Step 4: Copy the following code and place it within the head section of your blog’s template.
|
Replace my blog’s URL with yours in the
above-mentioned code and click on save template. Now all pages on your
blog will be redirected to an external destination.
Redirecting a Specific URL to an External Website
If you are intending to redirect a
specific page to external website rather than the above-mentioned code
is not for you however follow the same steps as of the above method but
use the following code:
|
Replace the Page URL with the URL of the
page, which you want to redirect and replace my blog’s URL with the
destination URL where you wish the page to be redirected.
Time Based Redirection
You might have seen pages redirecting to
the main source of information after few seconds, this technique is
mostly used in promotional activities. However, if you are looking
forward to do something of that sort use the following code.
|
Replace the URL of my blog with yours
and place this code in the head section of your blog by following the
above-mentioned steps. If you wish to increase or decrease the time of
transition, you can do it by changing 5 which is 5 seconds actually.
Moreover, this code will redirect your whole blog to the external
destination.
