Google redirects blogger blogs to country-specific domain i.e. if you're in United Kingdom and viewing blogenia.blogspot.com, you will be redirect to blogenia.blospot.co.uk.
URL redirection is a technique to make a web page available for more than one URL.
Google says, "We are doing this to provide more support for managing content locally. If we receive a removal request that violates local law, that content may no longer be available to readers on local domains where those laws apply."
If you are not happy with the idea of Blogger redirecting your blog to a different URL, you can add the following code to your Blogger blog and it will always serve the .com address to your visitors irrespective of their geographic location.
How it works:
Go to your Blogger Dashboard and choose Template, backup your template then click the “Edit HTML” button.
Login > Blogger dashboard > Template > Edit HTML
Now, paste the following code into the template just after the <head>.
<script type="text/javascript">
/* Get the full URL of the current blogger page */
var blog = document.location.href.toLowerCase();
/* Do not redirect if the domain is .com already */
if (!blog.match(/\.blogspot\.com/)) {
/* Replace the country TLD with .com and ncr switch */
blog = blog.replace(/\.blogspot\..*?\//, ".blogspot.com/ncr/");
/* Redirect to the new .com URL in the current tab */
window.location.replace(blog);
}
</script>
Click the Save Template button.
You are Done!!
Now your Blogger Blog will always serve with the blogspot.com URL. If you have implemented this trick then share your reaction on this topic. Thanks :)
