Redirect function is very important if you did not want a visitor come to a blog entry or a page that no longer exists (deleted, or does not need to be accessed again by visitors). First, the redirect function is rather heavy and difficult to apply in Blogger. At the very last, I have to use meta refresh, which is not perfect, and also not SEO friendly.
In addition, you may also often see broken links (error crawls) in webmaster tools, which are directed to page 404, because the link to the page is not found. This certainly will not have any effect on SEO. Usually caused by a broken link in the establishment of a page that is not used anymore or write errors in a link from a page that in-link back on your website / blog (e.g: link with url page http://myblog.blogspot.com/advertise.html written / linked by other blogs with http://myblog.blogspot.com/advertise/, Google certainly will not find the page you referenced and led to 404.
In WordPress (self-hosted, of course), there are many who are ready to use a redirect plugin. Before presence Blogger Custom Redirect, if used enough trouble also find a broken link, do not know what to do. If use the website in general, I simply access .Htaccess from the FTP server and write redirect pages, but on Blogger, where access it? But, thankfully, not anymore. This feature already exists and is as strong as classmates redirect plugins WordPress.
"Why and When Should I Use Redirect?"
The answer is quite simple:
1. To make visitors undisappointed because the landed link has been broken or there is a link that is actually true but not accessible.
2. I can redirect that page has been removed because it is outdated and Redirect to a new page which is updated.
2. I can redirect that page has been removed because it is outdated and Redirect to a new page which is updated.
3. Avoid broken links, and distribute link juice in the old link to the new link. So if the old page that has been good page rank removed, then the new page will redirect the results to get its juice (with a permanent redirect, 301).
4, There are many more!
How to Use Custom Redirect Blogger This feature is part of the main features of "search preferences", so access through the dashboard > Settings > Search Preferences > See the section "Errors and redirections" > Custom redirect.
1. Click the link "edit".
2. After that, you will see two columns, the first is the origin of redirect, and the second is the redirect destination.
For example, I redirect a page on meta tags which I think is outdated (especially the meta keywords that are not important anymore). I remove and redirect to a new page that talks about features and meta description optimization blogger.
URL pages deleted / redirected:
http://topbestbloggertemplates.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-backup-post-on-bloggerblogspot.htmlDestination page URL:
http://topbestbloggertemplates.blogspot.com/2013/06/How-To-Change-And-Edit-Blogger-TemplatesHTML.html
Note on the url that is colored red, that is what will be included in the second column. Make sure it starts with "/".
3. After that, make sure the url is entered is correct. If redirect is to forever (permanent), check the "permanent" (this is the 301 redirect, which is very SEO Friendly). If only for a while, not checked no problem (302 redirect, temporarily). Then hit "save" on the redirect command.
4. If you want to create another redirect, refer to the section above, press the "Add New" or add a new redirect. If not, press "save changes".
Redirect testing whether you managed to incorporate the old url to the browser. If the page is then redirected to a new page, then redirect succeeded.
