🛡️ What is a Safelink Page and How to Use It on Blogger?

Introduction

In the world of blogging and content sharing, protecting your external links — especially download or affiliate links — is crucial. This is where a Safelink Page comes in. In this post, we'll explain what a Safelink page is, why you need one, and how you can set it up and use it on your Blogger website.

What is a Safelink Page?

A Safelink page acts as a buffer page between your blog and an external link. Instead of sending users directly to a download or third-party site, they are redirected through a special page where:

You can show a message, ad, or timer.
The actual destination is hidden using Base64 encoding.
Users are automatically redirected after a few seconds.

Why Use a Safelink Page?

There are several benefits of using a Safelink page:

✅ Protects your direct download links from bots and leechers.
✅ Helps in preventing abuse or spam of your file URLs.
✅ Increases user engagement (you can show ads or info during redirect).
✅ Useful for affiliate links or monetized shorteners.

How to Create a Safelink Page on Blogger

Go to your Blogger Dashboard → Pages → New Page
Set the title as Safelink
Switch to HTML mode and paste the following code:

<script>
  function getQueryParam(param) {
    let urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
    return urlParams.get(param);
  }

  let encodedUrl = getQueryParam('url');
  if (encodedUrl) {
    let decodedUrl = atob(encodedUrl);
    document.write("<p>Redirecting you to your link...</p>");
    setTimeout(function() {
      window.location.href = decodedUrl;
    }, 5000);
  } else {
    document.write("<p>Invalid or missing link.</p>");
  }
</script>

Publish the page. Your Safelink URL will be like:
https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/p/safelink.html

How to Use the Safelink Page

Follow these steps to generate Safelink URLs for your external links:

Go to Base64Encode.org
Paste your original link (e.g., a download URL)
Click Encode
Take the encoded string and attach it to your safelink like:
https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/p/safelink.html?url=ENCODED_STRING

Example:
Real Link:
https://example.com/download/file.pdf
Base64 Encoded:
aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9kb3dubG9hZC9maWxlLnBkZg==
Safelink URL:
https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/p/safelink.html?url=aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9kb3dubG9hZC9maWxlLnBkZg==
