Search Engine Friendly URLs for Blogspot

Tuesday, December 28, 2010


Blogspot doesn’t have permalinks feature inside, but its URL has SEF format. Look at example below:

sef_urls_blogspot

However, blogspot only take 4 or 5 words at the front of the title of your article as a URL. So, if your title is too long, your blogspot URL will be disappointing. For example:

1. I want to make post with title “Search Engine Friendly URLs for Blogspot

Search_Engine_Friendly_URLs_blogspot

2. Look URL that I get

blogspot_sef_format

To resolve this problem, first you have to publish titles by selecting nice keywords from the title of your article.Here, I choose “Search Engine Optimization URLs Blogspot

sef_blogspot

After publishing, your blogspot URL would be represent with the title that you created earlier.

sef_urls_blogspot

Then, Please edit the title and post. Editting won’t change URL formed.

blogspot_edit_post
or

blogspot_edit_sef_post

2. Find .htaccess file, then set access to 777
3. If you cannot find .htaccess file, you should make it. Use notepad, then type:

Save with name .htaccess (without .txt). Upload to your public HTML

Search Engine Friendly URLs

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a web name that used to show a document source on the internet. All Search Engines use URLs to find a document on the internet either using the website name, category, or name of the article. For example: www.websitename.com, www.websitename.com/category or www.websitename.com/category/nameofthearticle.html .

You must make your website URLs with niche keywords, so that it can be Search Engine Friendly URLs. Below are examples of website that use SEF URLs, I try to search with keyword allinurl:travelling
