By If you have a blogspot blog then you ever see that if you type www.examaple.blogspot.com then it is automatically redirect to your country specific URL. For example you are typing f5therefresh.blogspot.com in India then it will be redirect to f5therefresh.blogspot.in or if you are trying to open it in UK then it will be redirect to f5therefresh.blogspot.co.uk. This happen due to changes made by Blogger in last few year.
From Last few years Blogger start to redirect blogger ‘s blogs to their country specific URL. It is explained in their support page.
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.
Advantages of this Redirection :
- The main advantage of this redirection is that if your blog or any page of your blog is blocked in any specific country then your blog or blocked page can be accessed without any problem.
Disadvantage of this Redirection:
- Your Alexa Rank and Page rank will be decreased due to county specific redirection of your blog.
