Redirecting Traffic Between BlogSpot URLs

By
Occasionally in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?, we see the innocent question
How do I redirect traffic, automatically, from one BlogSpot blog to another?
or
I just changed my blog name - how do I get my readers from the old URL to the new one?
And this is one feature that Blogger will probably not ever provide.

If Blogger were to allow the automatic forwarding of traffic, from BlogSpot URL to BlogSpot URL, spammers could setup automated splog farms, with gateway and payload blogs, and move their splog content around, at will.

That said, there are ways that you can plan the change, and make it possible for your readers to find your blog, if you choose to rename the blog.

You can, for instance, redirect the blog feed from the old URL to the new URL. Or, you can combine your Blogger blog(s), maybe as a blog cluster.

What if I want to redirect the home page so it automatically goes to a label search page on the same blog?

I think the simplest solution here is for you to setup a second blog, and only publish content that you want on the main page, in that blog. All other content you can publish in the first blog.

Than make the two blogs part of a blog cluster.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

By
When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

Blogger Magic - Adding Label Search URLs

By
One of the simplest ways to make a blog useful is to add label searches. Adding label searches, in page / post text, is not easy - unless you know how to build the URLs. Here's a label search from this blog. http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/search/label/Blogger%20Magic All that I want, when using that label search, is to add another reference to my "Blogger Magic" post series. " Blogger Magic " emphasises how easy it is, to use Blogger. How easy is it, to remember that syntax - to add a label link? Maybe, a " Blogger Magic " reference, in this post?
