Disable Country Specific URL Redirect For Your Blogger Blog

Blogger had recently started to redirect blogspot blogs to country specific URL. This means that blog’s URL redirects from .com to country specific .in or .au or .uk etc. That means if you are reading blog from Australia than the URL would be redirected to .au. A report says that many countries are affected from this. These countries are

Argentina [blogspot.com.ar]
Australia [blogspot.com.au]
Brazil [blogspot.com.br]
Canada [blogspot.ca]
Czech Republic [blogspot.cz]
France [blogspot.fr]
Germany [blogspot.de]
Hong Kong [blogspot.hk]
India [blogspot.in]
Italy [blogspot.it]
Japan [blogspot.jp]
Mexico [blogspot.mx]
New Zealand [blogspot.co.nz]
Portugal [blogspot.pt]
Romania [blogspot.ro]
Spain [blogspot.com.es]
Sweden [blogspot.se]
UK [blogspot.co.uk]

If you want to prevent this country specific redirection then follow the steps given below.

Step 1

Goto 'Design' from your blogger dashboard.

Step 2

Then select 'Edit HTML'.

Step 3

Find <Head> and paste the code given below right below it.


<script type='text/javascript'>
var str= window.location.href.toString();
if ((str.indexOf('.com/'))=='-1') {
var str1=str.substring(str.lastIndexOf(".blogspot."));
if (str1.indexOf('/')=='-1') {
var str2=str1;
}
else {
var str2=str1.substring(0,str1.indexOf('/')+1);
}
window.location.href =window.location.href.toString().replace(str2,'.blogspot.com/ncr/');
}
</script>

That’s it!! Now your blog will not redirect to country specific URL. This may help your SEO too.

How to Call From a Private Number?

If you want to make your number private number then just follow the steps given below.

Step 1

Dial *67 on your mobile phone

Step 2

Then dial area code and number of the person you want to call.

Step 3

Then call that number and your call would be as "Private Number" or "Restricted"

Ex:*67 91 1234567890

Where 91 is area code and 1234567890 is the number of the person you are calling.

This trick is supported in some mobile operators only.

Another way to make your mobile number private is in your phone's "Call settings".

Go to your mobile's Call settings and find "My Caller Identity". In which there would be "Set By Network" by default. But you can change it to "No". By changing it to 'NO', your phone will not send caller identity to receiver.

And in other operators you have to call customer services. Customer services or customer care can make your number a private number permanently.
