Fix: Error 404 at www.blogspot.com/ncr/ when using Custom Domain for Blogger
The Problem
If you have registered a blog in Blogger, you will normally have a blogspot subdomain e.g. yourdomain.blogspot.com. But you can also use custom domain name for blogger like paid TLDs like .com, .net, .info etc or free domains like .tk, .co.cc, .cc.cc etc.
I had a problem with my domain and blogger, while I set up DNS from the Godaddy and everything was right in there, I had a problem with domain directing to www.blogspot.com/ncr
Prevent Blogger from Redirecting your Blogspot Blog to Country-Specific URLs
Google now redirects Blogger blogs to country-specific domains. For instance, if you open example.blogspot.com in your web browser, you will be redirected to example.blogspot.in if you are located in India or to example.blogspot.co.uk if you are accessing the blog from UK.
Google does country-specific redirection for selective censorship – that means they can easily censor or block a blog post, or other entire blog site, in one country but still serve that page in other geographic regions. Blog redirection only occurs if you are on a blogspot domain and not if your Blogger blog is on a custom domain.
My traffic logs suggest that country-specific redirection in Blogger is live in at least 15 countries. They are India [blogspot.in], Australia [blogspot.com.au], UK [blogspot.co.uk], Japan [blogspot.jp], New Zealand [blogspot.co.nz], Canada [blogspot.ca], Germany [blogspot.de], Italy [blogspot.it], France [blogspot.fr], Sweden [blogspot.se], Spain [blogspot.com.es], Portugal [blogspot.pt], Brazil [blogspot.com.br], Argentina [blogspot.com.ar], Mexico [blogspot.mx]
If you are not happy with the idea of Blogger redirecting your blog to a different URL, you can add the following piece of code to your Blogger template and it will always serve the .com address to your visitors irrespective of their geographic location.
Go to your blog inside the Blogger Dashboard and choose Template. Then click the “Edit HTML” button followed by “Proceed.” Next, copy-paste the following code into the template after the <head> tag.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Written by Amit Agarwal
/* Get the full URL of the current blogger page */
var blog = document.location.href.toLowerCase();
/* Do not redirect if the domain is .com already */
if (!blog.match(/\.blogspot\.com/)) {
/* Replace the country TLD with .com and ncr switch */
blog = blog.replace(/\.blogspot\..*?\//, ".blogspot.com/ncr/");
/* Redirect to the new .com URL in the current tab */
window.location.replace(blog);
}
