Before continuing with how to remove the date from the Blogger URL, we will have to clear some basic terms such as What is URL and permalink.

What is the URL?

Many of us think that a URL and a domain name are the same. But, it is not true. A domain is one part of a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

A URL includes the domain name and details like the protocol and path, creating a web address that takes you to a specific page on a website.

What is a permalink?

A permalink is a link or URL of a post or webpage intended to remain unchanged in the future. It must be user-friendly and easy for users to type and remember. Also, change the published post permalink only if you write a new post.

What are the benefits of removing the date from the blogger post URL?

  • The URL will be short.
  • Remove the date the blog post URL makes your content evergreen.
  • The users will not know the published date.
  • It makes the URL shorter, which helps in organic ranking
  • It gives a professional look to the content URL

What are the disadvantages of removing the date from the blogger post URL?

If you change the post URLs, Google will be confused with both the URLs. And your post ranking may go down. So, the best way to change the URLs is to permanently redirect (301) from the old to the new.

Let’s better understand it by an example: If any of your content is ranked on Google with the date in the URL, And after changing the URL or removing the date from the URL, make your old URL (with date) 404, which means not found. When the users come to the old URL, they see nothing on that page, which affects the ranking of that content on search engines. So, use permanent redirection, i.e., 301, to redirect the old URL to the new one.
