Optimization of content for search engines is essential for a website to rank. But what if the same content serves via two different URLs. Yes, we’re talking about Blogger. Blogger CMS serves the same webpage through two URLs – One is for desktop and the other for mobile users.
The Blogger CMS serves canonical URL to desktop and canonical URL with m=1 to mobile users. This article will explain how to fix the Blogger m=1 issue for the Blogger blog.
- Desktop Version: https://www.example.com/
- Mobile Version: https://www.example.com/?m=1
But if you’re looking only to remove m=1 from the end of the web page URL, this post is not for you as we’re not here to spoil the on-Page SEO website.
You can add some script and remove m=1, but search engines will punish your blog by decreasing your blog’s page rank.
We can provide you with such a script, but no, as we’re here to boost the blog’s Search Engine Optimization and not degrade it. Read this complete article before applying any script etc. Use proper methods to do things.

Is it Possible to Remove m=1 from Blogger?
No, It is practically impossible to remove the m=1 from the Blogger URLs, as we do not have access to the root of the Blogger. But there is no need to remove /?m=1 from the Blogger blog posts.
You can hide m=1 from the URLs served on mobile devices by implementing javascript code to the theme file, but the javascript will only visually hide the m=1, not remove it. You can check that in the HTTP header response and the Google PageSpeed Insight tool. So the javascript injection method will disturb the on-Page SEO. But don’t worry, we found a perfect way to do this.
The Blogger serves different URLs for mobile and desktop devices with and without m=1, respectively. It’s the same case of different URLs for the same post. In such a case, we can declare that Google should treat both canonical URL and URL with m=1 as the same.
Solve the issue of Blogger – Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical
⛔ As we already discussed, if you want to remove m=1 from the Blogger blog URL, then this article is not for you. I’ll guide you on how to solve the issue with the help of Google Search Console.
You can solve the SEO problem of indexing the URL, Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical. This problem occurs because the server serves different URLs for mobile and desktop. So we’ll declare to the search console that both URLs must treat as the same.
How to solve Blogger m=1 issue
You can use the google page technique for different URLs for the same page (one for mobile and another for PC). In this method, we inform Google bots that content available at both URLs https://www.example.com/ and https://www.example.com/?m=1 is the same.
We can use the Google search console parameter tool to perform this action. The Google search engine recommends these settings under the crawling of parameterized duplicate content. And completely SEO and search engine friendly.
This tool is no longer available. After the latest updates, Google is able to understand the parameter thing automatically. Now you don’t have to worry about this m=1 thing, Google will take care of it.
Earlier we had to manually report to Google that both with and without m=1 URLs are the same, treat that accordingly. Now you didn’t need to do anything, just ignore this m=1 thing.
If you’re using Adsense Ads for monetization, follow this method to boost Adsense revenue by 150 to 200%. Learn how to improve the Blogger SEO the best practices available.
Don’t add any javascript to remove m=1 from the Blogger blog URLs. But if you did, check the header response of the website for mobile. This means that you made things worst from the SEO point of view. Please keep the above things in mind while making such changes.
Additional Tips: What is more important for any blog is the theme. Google supports HTML5 themes. You can also try our Blogger blog themes that are completely SEO-friendly.
Final Words

“NO” as m=0 is not visible anywhere and that is also canonical URL, we’re declaring url rel=alternative mean relation of article with original url i.e. alternative.

Hey Ashok, thanks for this blog!
Actually, I was auditing my blogspot through LightHouse and saw that the redirects were still being made. I had implemented that JavaScript code that just visually removes ‘?m=1’ parameter. Just got to know through this article that it hurts SEO. So, will remove it.
About that, Changing URL Parameters, you must’ve URL-Prefix Property instead of Domain Property. I had Domain Property of my Blogspot, so just created URL-Prefix property of it, but it doesn’t show any parameters, should I add ‘m’ manually or wait for some time?
You can add the “m” value manually as guided in this article.

Thanks friend for the information, you solved me some recorded problems that I had on my website. My site fell out of positions because of the M parameter, and now it is gradually being resolved.
I can’t access that section.
Legacy reports and tools are not available for domain properties.
Yes. Me too. If you solve it, please be kind to reply to this to let me know. Thanks 🙂
Solution is already provided, please read the article.
Hi, I just figured it out myself. So thought to update you too.
What I did was, I had submitted my blog on the google search console as a domain.
We have to submit it as a URL.
So, I removed the property from Google search console and added it back by selecting the Add URL and not Add domain. Now I can access it.
Voila
Hello Ashok, That’s a brilliant piece of information. Thanks for it.
However, one thing stands in my way to solve my issue.
When I click on URL parameters in the GSC, it says, “Legacy tools and reports are not available for domain properties’.
What should I do?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks
It is because you added and verified your property as domain property. You’ve to add it as a URL prefix property.
Please remove the property and add it again with the appropriate method.
When ever I enter url parameters
Mine says I can’t access that section.
Legacy reports and tools are not available for domain properties.
I finally found an updated site where it taught me how to check my site right http://edder.com.br, thanks!
Thanks, it was really helful.
Where are you? I just want to give you a hug. 😇
this is mine problem sir in my website, Please help me
Nice article, it was really helpful.
Hello I want to remove the m=1, the search console tells me:
Old reports and tools are not available for domain properties.
How to do, thanks for your help
I added a code between the head section with the help of another platform. check if this work for me to resolve the m=1 issue
Hi Kumar
I use this code there is no problema
/* 0) {var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf(“?m=1″));window.history.replaceState({}, document.title, clean_uri); }; var protocol = window.location.protocol.replace(/\:/g,”); if(protocol == ‘http’){ var url = window.location.href.replace(‘http’,’https’); window.location.replace(url);} /*]]>*/
The above code removes &m=1 that appears when accessing the page via mobile and redirects the link
Because if &m=1 is not removed,
The link conversion page will not work when visitors access it on different mobile platforms. This code also redirects visitors from “http” to “https”.
Tried to follow what you stated above but too bad currently Google deprecated the solution. The URL Parameters section has been temporarily terminated. You can go see for yourself. If you got time, kindly find a solution, different from what we read above cause thousands might need it.
The site I needed help with is: https://www.offblogmedia.com/
Best regards.
I recently shifted from Blogger to WordPress.
My site is https://hindisudha.com/
But as my site was on blogger previously, still my visitors visit:
https://hindisudha.com/?m=1But this says: THAT PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND.
It shows an error.
And this shows an error on every single page with is indexed in Google with ?m=1
Can you please help me and lemme know what exactly can I do to resolve this issue please.
Your kind help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Sheetal
“URL Parameters” has been deprecated, it’s not working anymore.
You’re amazing.
I am unable to remove ?m=1 only from a couple of pages that are already indexed on Google. Whenever I do a search for those keywords and click on them Google sends it to m=1 page. Though all other pages are without m=1 but can’t do it on a couple of pages I guess 3 pages there are.
