How To Redirect Your Old Blogger Blog To Your New Blog

without comments

Got a blog on Blogger.com and now want to shift to a new domain ? But fear you will lose your readers.

To ensure that you do not lose your readers during the transition, simply create a redirect from your Blogger blog so that every time a visitor visits your old blog, he will get redirected to your new blog. This way they will get informed of the address / URL change.

How To Create a 301 Redirect in Blogger

1. Log in to your Blogger account.
2. Go to the Template of the blog you want to redirect your visitors from.
3. Paste this code

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://newurl.com">

in between the <head> and </head> tags.
4. Replace http://newurl.com by the URL you want to redirect your visitors to.

That is it. Save your template. Now everytime someone visits your old blog, they will automatically be redirected to your new blog. :)

Bonus Tip : This will also help your new blog get indexed by search engines quickly. ;)
