When any visitor comes from any 3rd party site linked to your site and added a link that doesn�t exist or if you remove a page and want to redirect the traffic to new post or new link.

Note: change YOUR-SITE.com with your blog url.
Blogspot Custom Robots header tags
Another most important setting is blogspot custom robots header tags. Robots meta tag and description is also available on every single post, which makes it more search engine friendly. Specially, I liked the idea of Unavailable_after directive, which will help you to automatically deindex news post which usually expires after some time
No follow tag, open link in new tab
Last but not least, you�ll also find a �rel=nofollow� link attribute in the link tool. Checking this box means that you don�t want this link to be considered when web crawlers are searching for information they�ll use to index your page.
