How To Automatically Generate Short URLs of Blogger Posts in Blogger with Bitly
If you manage a Blogger website and regularly publish articles, you may have noticed that Blogger post URLs can become long and difficult to share. A typical Blogger URL may contain the publication year, month, a long post slug, and the .html extension. While these URLs can work perfectly well for search engines, they are not always convenient for social media, WhatsApp, Telegram, YouTube descriptions, email campaigns, QR codes, or other promotional activities.
One useful solution is to automatically generate a short URL for every Blogger post using Bitly.
In this guide, you will learn how to create an automatic Blogger-to-Bitly short URL system, how the process works, what API technology is involved, how to display the generated short link inside Blogger posts, how to protect your Bitly API token, and how to optimize the implementation for SEO, performance, usability, and AdSense.
Bitly's official API provides a /v4/shorten endpoint that accepts a long URL and returns a shortened Bitlink. Bitly documents the long_url field as required and supports bit.ly as the default domain.
Quick Answer: Can Blogger Automatically Generate Bitly Short URLs?
Yes.
Blogger can display or trigger an automatically generated Bitly short URL by combining:
A Blogger post's original URL
JavaScript or a server-side endpoint
The Bitly API
A Bitly access token
A small interface for displaying the resulting short link
However, there is an important security consideration.
You should not place your private Bitly access token directly inside publicly accessible Blogger JavaScript.
If you put something like:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BITLY_TOKEN
inside your Blogger theme, visitors can potentially inspect the page source or browser requests and discover the token.
A better architecture is:
Blogger → Google Apps Script/Web App → Bitly API → Bitly Short URL → Blogger
This keeps the sensitive API token on the server-side Apps Script environment instead of exposing it to every website visitor.
What Is a Bitly Short URL?
A Bitly short URL is a compact version of a longer destination URL.
For example, a Blogger post may have a URL similar to:
https://www.example.com/2026/08/how-to-automatically-generate-short-urls-of-blogger-posts.html
A shortened version could look similar to:
https://bit.ly/xxxxxxx
When a visitor clicks the short URL, Bitly redirects the visitor to the original Blogger post.
Bitly explains that shortened links redirect users to the original destination URL. Its support documentation also states that Bitly uses a 301 redirect for its standard link redirection.
This makes short links especially useful when you need a compact URL for:
Social media posts
WhatsApp messages
Telegram channels
YouTube descriptions
Facebook posts
Instagram profiles
Email marketing
QR codes
Printed materials
SMS
Affiliate campaigns
Promotional campaigns
Offline advertising
Why Automatically Generate Short URLs for Blogger Posts?
Manually shortening every Blogger article can become repetitive.
Imagine publishing 5, 10, or 20 posts every week.
For each article, you would need to:
Publish the Blogger post.
Copy its URL.
Open Bitly.
Paste the URL.
Create a Bitlink.
Copy the generated short URL.
Return to Blogger.
Add the short URL somewhere.
An automated system can reduce much of this repetitive work.
The basic concept is:
New Blogger Post
↓
Get Blogger Post URL
↓
Send URL to your automation endpoint
↓
Google Apps Script
↓
Bitly API
↓
Generate Bitlink
↓
Return Short URL
↓
Display Short URL
This is particularly useful for publishers who create large numbers of Blogger articles.
Important: Short URL vs Blogger Permalink
A Bitly short URL does not replace your Blogger permalink.
For example, your original Blogger URL may remain:
https://example.blogspot.com/2026/08/blogger-seo-guide.html
Your Bitly URL becomes an additional sharing URL:
https://bit.ly/abc123
The Blogger URL remains the canonical destination.
This distinction is important for SEO.
Your website should continue using the proper Blogger post URL as the canonical URL. The Bitly URL should generally be treated as a sharing and tracking URL rather than the canonical address of your article.
Bitly's documentation describes Bitlinks as shortened links that redirect to destination URLs.
How the Automatic Blogger Bitly System Works
A simple automated system contains four major components.
1. Blogger
Blogger contains the article and its original URL.
For example:
https://www.example.com/2026/08/example-blogger-post.html
Blogger provides feeds and APIs that can be used to work with published posts. Google's Blogger documentation confirms that Blogger provides feeds for sharing blog content, while its API provides access to individual posts.
2. Blogger JavaScript
JavaScript running on the Blogger page can detect the current post URL.
For example:
const longUrl = window.location.href;
This gives the current page URL.
3. Google Apps Script
Google Apps Script can act as a secure middle layer.
The browser sends the Blogger URL to Apps Script.
Apps Script then communicates with Bitly.
4. Bitly API
Bitly receives the long URL and creates the shortened Bitlink.
Bitly's current API documentation shows the basic endpoint:
POST https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten
The request includes a bearer authorization token and JSON containing the long_url.
Step 1: Create a Bitly Account
First, create or sign in to your Bitly account.
After logging in, you need access to the API credentials required by your implementation.
Bitly's developer documentation states that an API integration requires a Bitly account and an access token.
Your token should be treated as a private credential.
Never publish your token like this:
const BITLY_TOKEN = "your-private-token";
inside the Blogger template.
That would expose your credential to anyone who can inspect the page.
Instead, store it in Google Apps Script's server-side properties.
Step 2: Create a Google Apps Script Project
Open Google Apps Script and create a new project.
Create a server-side script that will receive a Blogger URL and call Bitly.
A simplified implementation can look like this:
const BITLY_TOKEN =
PropertiesService
.getScriptProperties()
.getProperty("BITLY_TOKEN");
function doPost(e) {
try {
const data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
if (!data.url) {
return jsonResponse({
success: false,
error: "URL is required"
});
}
const longUrl = data.url;
const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
"https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten",
{
method: "post",
contentType: "application/json",
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer " + BITLY_TOKEN
},
payload: JSON.stringify({
long_url: longUrl,
domain: "bit.ly"
}),
muteHttpExceptions: true
}
);
const result = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
if (response.getResponseCode() >= 200 &&
response.getResponseCode() < 300) {
return jsonResponse({
success: true,
shortUrl: result.link,
longUrl: result.long_url
});
}
return jsonResponse({
success: false,
error: result.message || "Bitly API error"
});
} catch (error) {
return jsonResponse({
success: false,
error: error.message
});
}
}
function jsonResponse(data) {
return ContentService
.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(data))
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
This code demonstrates the basic server-side concept.
Bitly's API documentation confirms that /v4/shorten accepts a long_url and returns a shortened link.
Step 3: Store the Bitly API Token Securely
Do not hard-code the token in the script if you can avoid it.
Instead, use Script Properties.
The script reads:
PropertiesService
.getScriptProperties()
.getProperty("BITLY_TOKEN");
You then store your token as:
BITLY_TOKEN
with your actual private Bitly token as the value.
This architecture is much safer than putting the token into Blogger's HTML or JavaScript.
Step 4: Deploy the Apps Script as a Web App
After saving the script, deploy it as a web application.
The deployment provides a URL that your Blogger JavaScript can call.
It will look similar to:
https://script.google.com/macros/s/XXXXXXXXXXXX/exec
Do not copy this example literally. Use the URL generated by your own Apps Script deployment.
When configuring the web app, carefully review the access settings and understand who can call the endpoint.
Step 5: Add Blogger JavaScript
Once your Apps Script endpoint is ready, Blogger can send the current post URL to it.
A basic example is:
<script>
async function generateBitlyUrl() {
const longUrl = window.location.href;
const endpoint =
"YOUR_APPS_SCRIPT_WEB_APP_URL";
try {
const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "text/plain;charset=utf-8"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
url: longUrl
})
});
const result = await response.json();
if (result.success) {
console.log("Bitly URL:", result.shortUrl);
const output =
document.getElementById("bitly-result");
if (output) {
output.value = result.shortUrl;
}
} else {
console.error(result.error);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(
"Short URL generation failed:",
error
);
}
}
</script>
You can then add a button:
<button onclick="generateBitlyUrl()">
Generate Short URL
</button>
<input
id="bitly-result"
type="text"
readonly
placeholder="Your Bitly URL will appear here">
This creates a simple Blogger interface.
Step 6: Create an Automatic Short URL Box
Instead of requiring visitors to press a button, you can run the function automatically when the page loads.
For example:
document.addEventListener(
"DOMContentLoaded",
function() {
generateBitlyUrl();
}
);
However, there is an important issue.
If you automatically call the Bitly API every time someone visits your article, you may generate unnecessary API requests.
For a high-traffic website, this is not an efficient architecture.
A visitor-based system could potentially create repeated API requests for the same Blogger post.
Therefore, automatic generation should ideally happen once per post, rather than once per page visitor.
Better Architecture: Generate Once, Reuse Forever
A better system looks like this:
Blogger Post
↓
Detect New Post
↓
Check Existing Bitlink
↓
If Bitlink Exists
↓
Return Existing Bitlink
If Bitlink Does Not Exist
↓
Create New Bitlink
↓
Save Bitlink
↓
Return Bitlink
You could maintain a database or Google Sheet containing:
| Blogger URL | Bitly URL | Post Title | Created |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blogger URL 1 | Bitly URL 1 | Article 1 | Date |
| Blogger URL 2 | Bitly URL 2 | Article 2 | Date |
| Blogger URL 3 | Bitly URL 3 | Article 3 | Date |
This prevents duplicate Bitlinks.
Why Duplicate Prevention Matters
Suppose 1,000 people visit the same Blogger article.
If your Blogger JavaScript calls Bitly every time someone loads the page, the system could repeatedly ask Bitly to shorten the same URL.
That is unnecessary.
A better solution is:
Has this Blogger URL already been shortened?
YES → Return saved Bitly URL
NO → Create Bitly URL → Save it
This is particularly important for websites with significant traffic.
Bitly also documents limits around link creation and API usage, so automation should be designed with usage limits in mind.
Using Google Sheets as a Simple Bitly Database
For a small Blogger website, Google Sheets can work as a simple record system.
Create columns such as:
A = Blogger URL
B = Bitly URL
C = Post Title
D = Date
E = Status
Example:
Blogger URL | Bitly URL | Post Title | Date | Status
When a new URL arrives:
Search the spreadsheet.
Check whether the Blogger URL already exists.
If it exists, return the existing Bitly URL.
If it does not exist, call Bitly.
Save the result.
Return the new Bitly URL.
This approach is relatively easy to understand and maintain.
Automatic Short URLs for Blogger Posts Using the Blogger Feed
Another approach is to use Blogger's feed to identify posts.
Blogger's official documentation provides feed URLs for blog content, including Atom and RSS feeds.
A Blogger feed can expose post information such as:
Post title
Post URL
Publication information
Content
Other feed metadata
You can use a scheduled Google Apps Script to periodically check the feed.
For example:
Every hour
↓
Read Blogger feed
↓
Find recent posts
↓
Check Google Sheet
↓
Find URLs without Bitlinks
↓
Send URL to Bitly
↓
Save Bitlink
This is much closer to true automation.
Scheduled Automation: The Better Solution
If your main goal is:
"Every time I publish a new Blogger article, automatically create a Bitly short URL."
then a scheduled Apps Script process is usually more appropriate than running Bitly generation for every visitor.
The workflow can be:
New Blogger Post
↓
Blogger Feed
↓
Apps Script Trigger
↓
Read Recent Posts
↓
Check Database
↓
New URL?
/ \
YES NO
↓ ↓
Bitly Ignore
↓
Save URL
Google Apps Script can run on a time-based trigger.
For example, you might schedule the script to check for new Blogger posts periodically.
This reduces unnecessary requests and separates link creation from page visits.
Important Bitly API Considerations
Bitly provides several API endpoints for link management.
Its current API reference documents:
/v4/shorten
for converting a long URL into a Bitlink.
It also documents:
/v4/bitlinks
for creating Bitlinks and:
/v4/bitlinks/{bitlink}
for updating an existing Bitlink's destination.
Bitly also explains that its API can be used for automated link management and analytics.
Can You Customize the Bitly URL?
Depending on your Bitly plan and configuration, customization may be available.
For example, a standard Bitly link may look like:
https://bit.ly/AbC123
A customized back-half could look conceptually like:
https://bit.ly/bloggerseo
Bitly's developer documentation explains that different types of Bitlinks can use custom domains and/or customized back-halves, depending on available account features.
However, you should not assume that every account has access to every customization feature.
Should You Use Bitly Short URLs for SEO?
Short URLs can be useful for distribution and marketing, but they should not be considered a replacement for your Blogger permalink.
Your Blogger article should still have a clean, descriptive permalink.
For example:
https://example.com/2026/08/blogger-seo-guide.html
is your content URL.
Your Bitly link:
https://bit.ly/example
is your sharing URL.
The two URLs have different purposes.
Bitly states that its redirects use 301 redirects and says that its 301 redirect does not affect your website's SEO.
Nevertheless, your primary SEO strategy should remain focused on your actual Blogger page.
Blogger SEO Best Practices for Shortened URLs
Do not sacrifice your original Blogger URL just to create a short link.
Instead, optimize the original page.
Use a descriptive permalink
For example:
/2026/08/blogger-bitly-short-url-guide.html
is better than a random or meaningless slug.
Keep the title relevant
Your title should clearly communicate the subject.
Use one canonical URL
Avoid confusing search engines with multiple competing versions of the same page.
Use internal links
Connect related Blogger articles.
Optimize headings
Use H2 and H3 headings naturally.
Add descriptive image ALT text
Images should support the content and user experience.
Improve page speed
Avoid adding excessive JavaScript.
Does a Bitly URL Replace the Canonical URL?
No.
Your canonical URL should normally remain the Blogger article URL.
For example:
<link
rel="canonical"
href="https://example.com/2026/08/blogger-bitly-guide.html">
The Bitly URL is primarily a redirecting sharing URL.
Do not set the Bitly address as the canonical URL of your Blogger article.
How to Add a "Copy Short URL" Button
After generating the Bitly URL, you can provide a convenient copy button.
Example:
<div id="short-url-box">
<input
id="short-url"
type="text"
readonly>
<button onclick="copyShortUrl()">
Copy Short URL
</button>
</div>
<script>
function copyShortUrl() {
const input =
document.getElementById("short-url");
input.select();
navigator.clipboard.writeText(
input.value
);
}
</script>
This is useful for bloggers because the generated URL can immediately be copied and shared.
Add Social Sharing Options
Once a Bitly URL is generated, you can provide buttons for:
Facebook
WhatsApp
Telegram
X
Email
Copy Link
For example, your interface could show:
Short URL:
https://bit.ly/example
[Copy]
[WhatsApp]
[Facebook]
[Telegram]
This can make your Blogger article more useful to readers and publishers.
Don't Automatically Create Short Links for Every Visitor
This is one of the most important implementation recommendations.
Avoid:
Visitor opens post
↓
Call Bitly
↓
Create short URL
Instead use:
New post detected
↓
Check database
↓
Create short URL once
↓
Store it
↓
Display existing short URL
The second architecture is more efficient.
Bitly API Rate Limits and Link Limits
API automation should always account for service limits.
Bitly notes that API operations are subject to account limits and that shortening large numbers of URLs may require repeated API calls while respecting rate limits.
Therefore, if your Blogger website contains thousands of posts, don't blindly request a new Bitlink for every page load.
Instead:
Cache existing results.
Store generated links.
Process new posts incrementally.
Avoid duplicate requests.
Monitor your Bitly usage.
Handle API errors gracefully.
Handling Bitly API Errors
Your automation should not assume every request succeeds.
Possible problems include:
Invalid token
Invalid URL
API rate limits
Account restrictions
Network errors
Invalid JSON
Incorrect deployment permissions
Duplicate link handling
Temporary service errors
Your code should return a clear response.
For example:
{
"success": false,
"error": "Unable to create Bitlink"
}
The Blogger interface can then show:
Short URL could not be generated.
Please try again later.
This is much better than displaying a broken interface.
What Happens If a Blogger Post URL Changes?
This is another important consideration.
Suppose the original URL is:
https://example.com/2026/08/old-title.html
and later you change the Blogger permalink to:
https://example.com/2026/08/new-title.html
The previously created Bitly link still points to the original destination unless you update it.
Bitly's API supports redirect updates through the PATCH operation for an existing Bitlink.
Therefore, if your Blogger permalink changes, your automation system should be able to identify the old Bitlink and update its destination when appropriate.
Recommended Database Structure
If you want a reliable system, use a table like this:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Post URL | Original Blogger URL |
| Bitlink | Generated short URL |
| Post ID | Blogger post identifier |
| Title | Post title |
| Created Date | Date Bitlink was created |
| Updated Date | Last modification |
| Status | Active/error |
| Clicks | Optional analytics data |
This gives you a basic link-management system.
Advanced Automation Architecture
For a larger Blogger website, use this structure:
BLOGGER
|
↓
Blogger Feed/API
|
↓
Google Apps Script
|
┌─────────┴─────────┐
↓ ↓
Google Sheet Bitly API
↑ |
└─────────┬─────────┘
↓
Bitly Short URL
|
↓
Blogger Display
This architecture separates the responsibilities of each component.
Blogger stores the content.
Apps Script handles automation.
Google Sheets stores link mappings.
Bitly creates and redirects the short URLs.
Why Use Google Apps Script?
Google Apps Script is particularly convenient for Blogger users because it works naturally with Google's ecosystem.
It can:
Run scheduled jobs
Make HTTP requests
Work with Google Sheets
Store script properties
Process Blogger feed data
Communicate with external APIs
Automate repetitive tasks
This makes it useful for creating a lightweight Blogger automation system without maintaining your own VPS or traditional backend.
Security Best Practices
Security should be considered before publishing your automation.
1. Never expose your Bitly token
Do not place it in:
<script>
const token = "...";
</script>
2. Keep the token server-side
Use Apps Script properties or another secure server-side mechanism.
3. Validate incoming URLs
Your Apps Script should verify that the submitted URL belongs to your expected Blogger domain.
For example:
const allowedHost = "example.com";
Then verify the hostname before sending the URL to Bitly.
4. Don't accept arbitrary destinations
If your endpoint allows anyone to submit any URL, it could potentially be abused as a generic URL-shortening service.
5. Monitor requests
Keep track of abnormal usage.
Example Domain Validation
A simple concept is:
const url = new URL(data.url);
if (url.hostname !== "example.com") {
return jsonResponse({
success: false,
error: "Invalid domain"
});
}
For a Blogspot site, you could validate the appropriate blogspot.com hostname, but be careful if your Blogger site uses a custom domain.
A stronger implementation should explicitly whitelist the exact domains you own.
AdSense Optimization Considerations
If your Blogger website uses Google AdSense, adding a Bitly short URL feature should not be treated as a substitute for useful content.
Your primary objective should remain:
high-quality content + good user experience + clear navigation + appropriate advertising.
For better AdSense performance:
Use useful content
Write articles that genuinely answer search queries.
Don't overload the page
Avoid excessive ad placements.
Keep navigation clear
Users should easily find your main content.
Avoid intrusive popups
A short URL feature should remain secondary to the article.
Maintain fast loading
Do not load unnecessary third-party scripts.
Keep ads separate from navigation
Users should be able to distinguish advertising from your content and buttons.
Recommended Placement of the Short URL Box
The short URL feature can be placed:
Option 1: Below the article title
Useful for readers who immediately want to share.
Option 2: After the introduction
Provides context before the sharing tool.
Option 3: At the end of the article
This is often less intrusive.
Option 4: Floating sharing toolbar
Useful for social-heavy websites, but it should be implemented carefully.
For an AdSense-focused Blogger website, I recommend a simple box near the end of the article.
Suggested HTML Design
A clean interface could look like this:
<div class="short-url-container">
<strong>Short URL:</strong>
<div class="short-url-row">
<input
id="short-url"
type="text"
readonly
placeholder="Generating short URL...">
<button
type="button"
onclick="copyShortUrl()">
Copy
</button>
</div>
</div>
You can then style it using CSS.
Keep the design responsive so it works on:
Desktop
Laptop
Tablet
Android
iPhone
Mobile Optimization
Most social sharing happens on mobile devices.
Therefore, your short URL box should be mobile-friendly.
Avoid fixed widths such as:
width: 700px;
Instead use responsive sizing:
width: 100%;
max-width: 700px;
The button should also be large enough to tap comfortably.
Automatic Bitly Short URL for Blogger: Complete Workflow
Here is the recommended complete workflow:
Step 1
Create a Bitly account.
Step 2
Create or obtain the required Bitly API credentials.
Step 3
Create a Google Apps Script project.
Step 4
Store the Bitly token in Script Properties.
Step 5
Create a doPost() endpoint.
Step 6
Send Blogger post URLs to Apps Script.
Step 7
Apps Script validates the URL.
Step 8
Apps Script checks whether a Bitlink already exists.
Step 9
If not, Apps Script calls:
POST /v4/shorten
Step 10
Bitly returns the generated link.
Step 11
Save the Bitly link.
Step 12
Display the short URL in Blogger.
Step 13
Allow the user to copy or share it.
Can Bitly Short URLs Improve Click-Through Rate?
A short URL can improve usability because it is easier to recognize, copy, remember, and share.
However, you should not assume that shortening a URL automatically increases search rankings.
The real benefit is usually distribution and sharing convenience.
For example:
Long URL:
https://example.com/2026/08/how-to-automatically-generate-short-urls-of-blogger-posts-with-bitly.html
Short URL:
https://bit.ly/blogger-url
The second format is easier to place in a social media post or message.
Bitly Analytics
Another reason publishers use link shorteners is analytics.
Depending on your Bitly account and features, Bitly provides link-management and analytics capabilities. Its developer platform includes APIs for Bitlinks and related link-management functions.
This can help you understand how a shared link performs.
For example:
Blogger Article
↓
Bitly Link
↓
Social Media
↓
Visitors
Instead of simply sharing the long Blogger URL, you can use the Bitly link as a distribution layer.
Bitly vs Blogger Permalink
These two systems should not be confused.
| Feature | Blogger URL | Bitly URL |
|---|---|---|
| Main article address | Yes | No |
| SEO content URL | Yes | No |
| Short sharing URL | No | Yes |
| Redirects to article | N/A | Yes |
| Useful for social sharing | Yes | Excellent |
| Analytics | Blogger/other tools | Bitly features |
| Customization | Blogger permalink | Depends on Bitly plan |
| Canonical destination | Yes | No |
The ideal strategy is to use both.
Common Problems and Solutions
Problem 1: Bitly URL is not generated
Check:
Bitly token
Apps Script deployment
API endpoint
Request payload
Script permissions
Problem 2: "Unauthorized" API error
This normally indicates an authentication problem.
Verify that the bearer token is valid and is being sent in the correct authorization header.
Bitly's API examples use:
Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN}
as the authorization mechanism.
Problem 3: Blogger shows CORS-related errors
The browser may encounter cross-origin restrictions depending on how the Apps Script endpoint is deployed and called.
Use a proper Apps Script web-app configuration and test the endpoint independently before adding it to your Blogger theme.
Problem 4: Duplicate Bitlinks
Implement a database lookup.
Check:
Blogger URL exists?
If yes:
Return existing Bitly URL.
If no:
Create new Bitly URL.
Problem 5: Short URL generation happens repeatedly
Don't call Bitly on every page visit.
Generate links once and cache them.
Is It Possible to Shorten All Existing Blogger Posts?
Yes, but it should be done carefully.
Bitly's documentation notes that shortening many URLs requires individual API calls rather than a general bulk-shortening endpoint; automation can loop through URLs while respecting applicable rate and account limits.
A migration script could:
Read Blogger posts
↓
Extract URLs
↓
Check Google Sheet
↓
Skip existing URLs
↓
Shorten missing URLs
↓
Save results
For a large blog, process them in batches rather than attempting thousands of requests simultaneously.
Best Strategy for a New Blogger Blog
If you are starting a new Blogger website, set up the automation before publishing hundreds of articles.
A recommended workflow is:
Publish Article
↓
Save Post URL
↓
Automation Detects New Post
↓
Generate Bitly URL
↓
Save Bitly URL
↓
Use Short URL for Promotion
This gives you a consistent link-management system from the beginning.
Best Strategy for an Existing Blogger Blog
For an existing website:
Export or retrieve existing post URLs.
Create a Google Sheet.
Add existing URLs.
Process them gradually.
Generate Bitlinks only for URLs that need them.
Save every generated Bitlink.
Avoid duplicate requests.
Use the short links for future promotion.
Do not modify every existing Blogger permalink merely to make URLs shorter.

FAQ: Automatically Generate Short URLs of Blogger Posts
Can I automatically create Bitly links for Blogger posts?
Yes. You can connect Blogger with Bitly through an automation layer such as Google Apps Script. The Blogger post URL can be sent to the Bitly API and the returned Bitlink can then be stored or displayed.
Is Bitly compatible with Blogger?
Yes. Blogger posts have normal HTTP/HTTPS URLs, and Bitly's API can shorten long URLs through its /v4/shorten endpoint.
Do I need the Bitly API?
If you want a fully automated system, API access is the practical approach. Bitly documents API authentication using an access token and provides endpoints for creating and managing Bitlinks.
Can I add the Bitly API token directly to Blogger?
You technically could put JavaScript containing a token into a public webpage, but you should not do so for a private API credential. Visitors can inspect client-side code and network requests. A server-side solution such as Google Apps Script is safer.
Does a Bitly link replace my Blogger URL?
No. Your Blogger URL should remain the primary destination and canonical page URL. The Bitly link is a shortened redirecting URL for sharing and distribution.
Can I automatically generate a Bitly link whenever I publish a Blogger post?
Yes. A scheduled Google Apps Script can monitor Blogger content and create Bitlinks for new posts.
Can I use Google Sheets to store Bitly links?
Yes. Google Sheets can be used as a simple database containing Blogger URLs, Bitly URLs, titles, dates, and statuses.
Will Bitly links hurt Blogger SEO?
A Bitly link used for sharing is not the same as replacing your Blogger canonical URL. Bitly documents its standard redirect as a 301 redirect and states that the redirect does not affect website SEO.
Can I shorten old Blogger posts?
Yes. Existing Blogger post URLs can be processed through the Bitly API. However, large batches should be processed gradually while respecting Bitly account and API limits.
Can I customize the Bitly URL?
Depending on your Bitly account and available features, you may be able to customize the domain or back-half of a Bitlink. Bitly documents several types of customizable short links.
Can I track clicks on my Blogger Bitly links?
Bitly provides link analytics and link-management capabilities, subject to the features and limits of your account.
Should I generate a new Bitly URL every time someone visits a post?
No. Ideally, generate the Bitlink once and save it. Every visitor should receive the already-created short URL.

Conclusion
Automatically generating short URLs for Blogger posts with Bitly can make content distribution considerably easier.
The most important concept is to separate your Blogger permalink from your Bitly sharing URL.
Your Blogger URL remains the original destination:
https://example.com/2026/08/example-post.html
while Bitly provides a shorter sharing address:
https://bit.ly/example
For a basic implementation, Blogger JavaScript can send the current post URL to an automation endpoint. For a more reliable and secure solution, Google Apps Script can act as the server-side bridge between Blogger and Bitly.
The recommended architecture is:
Blogger
↓
Blogger Feed/API
↓
Google Apps Script
↓
Check Existing URL
↓
Bitly API
↓
Create Bitlink
↓
Save Bitlink
↓
Display/Share Short URL
Most importantly, do not expose your Bitly API token in the public Blogger template. Keep sensitive credentials on the server side and validate incoming URLs.
Bitly's current developer documentation supports automated creation of Bitlinks through its API, while Blogger provides feeds and API access that can be used as part of an automation workflow.
For a small Blogger blog, a Google Sheet plus Apps Script is often sufficient. For a larger publishing operation, you can extend the same architecture with scheduled processing, duplicate detection, error handling, analytics, and a dedicated database.
The result is a practical Blogger URL automation system that can help you generate, organize, and share short links without manually shortening every article.
