How To Develop The Url For Blogger Posts

This article shows how to utilization the Permalink options to command the URL (ie website address) used for a post inwards your blog.


When yous get-go issue a post inwards blogger, an URL (called a permalink inwards blogger) is automatically generated for that post. It looks like:

www.yourDomain/yyyy/mm/WORDS-ABOUT-MY-POST

In this URL:

  • yourDomain is either your custom domain / third-party URL   (eg fred-fish.com) or your blogspot domain if yous aren't using a custom domain at the fourth dimension (eg www.blogger-hints-and-tips.blogspot.com)
  • yyyy/mm is the yr too calendar month of the post's master copy publication date.

Initially, Blogger choses the WORDS-ABOUT-YOUR-MY based on the title, or the get-go words inwards the post if the championship was blank. They utilization only about rules eg leaving out "the" too other mutual words, too putting numbers on the terminate hence that every post has a unique URL (called a "permalink" inwards Blogger).

However Blogger also has a tool that lets yous direct the WORDS-ABOUT-YOUR-POST separately from the post-title.



How to modify the customizable move of the URL for a post

1  Edit the post inwards the commons way.

2  In the Post Settings expanse (currently at the right mitt side of the editor), in that place is a department called Permalink.

iii   Click on Links to demo the options inwards it.

four   Click the custom URL radio button

v   Type the words that yous desire to use inwards WORDS-ABOUT-YOUR-POST into the Custom URL box

vi   Click Done.

seven   Finish the post, too Publish it.


Restrictions

The solely characters yous tin utilization are:
  • lowercase letters (ie a, b, c ... z)
  • uppercase letters (ie A, B, C ... Z)
  • digits (ie 0, 1, 2 ... 9)
  • underscore (ie _)
  • dash (ie - )
  • full-stop, also known equally a menstruum (ie .)
It looks similar in that place is no restriction on the number of characters yous tin pose into the URL.  For example, I was only able to brand a post inwards my attempt blog, amongst this URL:  
http://inaredhouse.blogspot.com//search?q=changing-date-for-post
(you cannot come across the post, because that item weblog isn't opened upwardly for populace reading.)


If the combinaton of yyyy-mm from post-date (which yous tin modify - come across Setting the Post Date) too WORDS-ABOUT-YOUR-BLOG is non unique, Blogger volition move out out the terminal character(s), too pose inwards numbers to become far unique.

It solely applies to Posts, non Pages:  the solely way to influence the URL / permalink for a Page on your weblog is to direct the initial words inwards the page-title very carefully.   (Ref:  the divergence betwixt Posts too Pages)


Why should yous bother? What words should yous use?

Firstly, it's solely worth changing the custom words inwards your post-URL  if SEO matters for your blog.

If yous remember the modify is worth it, hence yous ask to remember almost what specific words
1) accurately reverberate the content of your blog, and
2) are probable to endure the words that people search for.

Unless you're a spammer, in that place is no indicate inwards making your post url www.myBlog/2012-07/hot-and-sexy-topic if your post doesn't bring whatever content almost hot-and-sexy-topic. (And if yous are a spammer, yous may equally good move out Blogger now, earlier yous instruct kicked off anyway.)

Leave out smaller filler words similar "the" "a" "and" - unless they are relevant to the post-contents. For illustration include "the Who" if your post is almost the band called The Who, but move out it out if your post is almost the cats who tin fly.

Lastly, many SEO experts (self-proclaimed too otherwise) tell that dashes are better than dots or underscores. Only Google too Bing know if they'are right or not. But it's likely a goodness thought to utilization xxx-yy-aaaa instead of xxx_yy_aaaa or xxx.yy.aaaa, only inwards illustration they are.


Changing the post-title afterwards publication

Google's help-article almost the custom-permalink feature says:
"because Blogger automatically creates the URL from data from your post title, your URL would modify should yous create upwardly one's heed to edit the title. This would number inwards broken links, too fewer visitors to your blog"

This isn't the way Blogger worked before: until now, I oft published a post amongst 1 championship using the words I wanted inwards the URL, too hence rattling rapidly edit it too modify the championship to the words I wanted inwards the title. For example, for a recent post
  • the URL is  http://inaredhouse.blogspot.com//search?q=changing-date-for-post
  • the post-title is now:  Where to instruct the HTML code for pop gadgets inwards Blogger

I only tried this 1 time to a greater extent than inwards my test-blog, too flora that it's yet true: fifty-fifty if yous modify the title, the post URL doesn't change.


Changing the custom-URL words afterwards publication

Originally, afterwards yous hitting the Publish push clit for the get-go time, in that place was no way modify the permalink:  if yous click on the Permalink selection inwards Post Settings, yous are shown the custom value that yous chose, but yous cannot modify it.




However yous tin now:

  • Edit the post.
  • Click the Revert to draft button.
  • Edit the post URL inwards the same way

too the URL of your post volition endure changed.  Note that if yous create this, the post characteristics (view count, comments) are kept.   This agency that Blogger must endure associating them amongst the unchanged internal post-identifier, non the URL.
