 How to Remove Date from Blogger Post URL ?

I'll explain in this article How to Remove Date from Blogger Post URL?

As far as we are aware, Blogger has included the date in the blog post URL's Permalink, and there is no way to use the dashboard to remove this. Furthermore, the URL lengthens and has an ugly appearance.

Therefore, by deleting the date from the Blogger post URL, you can simplify your Permalink structure. Thus, take the actions listed below.

Benefits Of Removing Date Form Blogger Post URL

After deleting the Date from the Blogger post URL, you get a number of advantages.

1. It keeps the URL length brief.
2. Gives your blog entry a polished appearance.
3. Conceals from users the date of publication
4. Simple to Recall URL Structure

Disadvantages of removing date from Blogger URL

Eliminating it from post URLs has some drawbacks because it degrades the SEO performance of already-established, reputable blogs.

This is due to the fact that Google uses the URL to identify content, and if that URL changes, Google must crawl the page again and reindex it in search engine results pages (SERPs). As a result, during this process, you might drop in the rankings.

However, the change will only be temporary because search engines will eventually take the new URL into account as the old links will redirect to the new URL structure. Your previous internal links will continue to function.

So, it is not recommended for Old sites with a lot of blog posts indexed in Google, but new websites can use this method to remove date from Blogger URL.

Before starting please backup your blog template for any kind of error and easy restoration.
