before jumping to the solution lets first know more about blogger permalink in
detail.
Google Blogger or
Blogspot is one of the best ways for creating a free blog with a free domain
but it has certain limitations and drawback.
One of the major drawbacks in the Blogger is the permalink structure which is
not customizable. In Blogger the Permalink becomes too long because it
contains post date, HTML extension and in Mobile View M=1. You can check the
below screenshot to know how the default Blogger permalink looks like.
Whereas in WordPress we can easily change the permalink and can customize as
per our requirement and also it looks very professional.
What Is Permalink in Blogger?
Permalink is also known as a permanent link is a URL structure of a website.
For Example check this URL,
The first part
"https://www.probloggertips.xyz" is
the domain address and the second part after the
"/" is its permalink.
What are the disadvantages of removing the date and HTML from Blogger URL?
Removing date from Blogger posts URL is helpful, but only for the bloggers who
have just started their blog and who wish to start their blog with Google
Blogger, if you are already blogging and your posts have started ranking than
removing date and HTML from your posts URL will have a negative SEO impact as
all your posts with previous posts with date and HTML will give 404 error and
you will lose the ranking.
So it's better that old bloggers don't take the risk. We will use javascript
to remove date and HTML extension, and using javascript can increase page load
time.
What are the advantages of removing the date and HTML from Blogger URL?
- Google recommends using permalink of fewer than 75 characters, so by removing the date and HTML extension, you are reducing the length of your permalink which is good for SEO.
- Removing the date and HTML extension will give you a professional look to your Blog Posts.
- It will not tell the visitor that on which date your blog was published.
- It will make your permalink SEO optimised and small in length.
- Ckeckbot, one of the popular OnPage SEO checker flags a notice saying that "Don't Use Extension" for your website or blog.
