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. Google have given proper instructions about this in a detailed help documentation.

But sometimes, even after following all the instructions properly, you may see the new domain being redirected to a 404 Error page with the address www.blogspot.com/ncr/.

This is very frustrating, right? I will be discussing the reason behind this error and the solution in this post.

Link Your Blog to Custom Google+ Page in Blogger

Google have added a new feature in Blogger that assists you to link your Blogger blog to the custom Google+ page of your site. Previously Blogger blog used to link with the personal Google+ page of the Blog owner.

Linking Blogger to a Google + Profile or Page has advantage in making a professional touch to your blog. This way the About me page will contain information on the Author or on the Google + page. If properly configured, Google search results will also display images of Google + profile or page.
