Options for 301 redirect from blogger

I can't use .htaccess on Blogger, but I need to try to keep the search rankings for posts.

Users can redirect fine (using Javascript), but if I can't use a proper 301 redirect, how can I ensure Google doesn't have a fit and drop the rankings for the posts?

Solution

  • Seems like canonical urls will accomplish as close as possible to what I want:

    Just in case anyone else stumbles across this post.

    edit; gist.github.com/9ee54b15a3a7627e9f6b was what was pasted into the Blogger template. The index/reverse[_g] functions just 301'd to the correct post.
