How to do a 301 redirect in Blogger

Redirecting a URL points traffic from an existing URL to a different one, letting your visitors and Google Search know that it has a new location.

Under the Errors and redirects section in the Settings tab, you will find the Custom redirects tool, which allows you to create both 301 and 302 redirects.

To use it, very few steps are required:

1. Click on Custom redirects, which will open a new window, and then click Add.
2. Fill in the fields without starting with a forward slash (/), as the form already includes it by default. Also, do not include your entire domain name; for example, in the From field, you should never put https://example.blogspot.com/, but only the path that follows.
3. Check the Permanent box to ensure the redirect is configured as a 301.
4. Click Add again.
5. In the next window, verify that the data you entered is correct, and then click Save.

Below are three practical use cases for this tool:

To correct a permalink.

To redirect between posts and pages

To redirect to a different website.

In this case, make sure to start the link with a / in the To field. Keep in mind that while the tool allows this type of redirection, you should use it at your own discretion, as it may breach Blogger Content Policies.

Using the last scenario as an example, you can see that the redirection works perfectly.

IMPORTANT: Never use the Custom Redirect tool to "fix" the Redirect Error warning in Search Console. It will affect your site's performance by causing a redirect loop. I recommend reviewing the community guide Redirect error: Search Console report.
