How to Set Custom Redirects for Blogger Post

A blog/site may go through many changes over the times. While making these changes you may need to add/delete post. If you delete any post or URL and it does not exist on your blog then when people surf for this post they will get 404 message.

As a result this broken URL make negative impression to visitors about your blog/site. If you're blogging on blogger platform then the best way to avoid broken URL and keep the traffics to follow the right direction is setting custom redirects by Blogger Custom Redirection tool. You can only redirect URL within your Blogger blog.

As a result many visitors used to visit lost post URL which creates negative impact about my blog I also lose many valuable traffics. Recently I have fixed this problem by Redirecting Old post URL to New post URL. And my blog's traffic is also increased.
