Hello readers, It’s not about how many articles you post on your website or blog each day to result in top in Search Engine Result Page. It’s all about how much quality your content has, for that blogger spends several hours online to post quality content. But what if you (or) someone who has the privilege to access your account has deleted your blog post accidentally? Your hours of work turned nothing.
To get this done, we shall use different methods and instances. If you mistakenly deleted a published post on blogger Blogspot, the first would be.
How to restore deleted posts to the blog?
Google search engines crawl articles posted frequently, index them, save a cached version of the page, and update it. We have numerous possible choices to retrieve it back.
1. With Google Cache
2. Draft Post
3. Way2back machine
1. Recover deleted blog post with “google cache.”
Whenever a blog article is posted, a search engine will often make a cache version of the page, which will be updated in a regular time interval, which has all the information about the particular URL last appeared on-site before deletion.
To find the deleted blog post Url:
1. Type
site:yourblogname.blogspot.com in google search engine.
• ( Note: if you know the URL type
cache: your blog URL in search page or address bar directly to open cache version )
2. The above search query
• ( site:yourblogname.blogspot.com ) will list all the blog posts indexed by google. Select the blog post from the list. (or else)
3. If you know the title of the deleted blog post, type the query something like this
• [site:yourblogname.blogspot.com title name] this query will filter search results.
4. Click the drop-down below the search title and click cached to open the page in cache version.
5. Open the deleted page/post in cache version.
Publishing the cache version of deleted blog post/page:
You can copy the post and re-publish it, but you cannot get the traffic and comments that you receive for that particular postback. So to get the actual blog post traffic and comments back, try posting it with the blog URL.
1. Press ctrl+u (or) right-click and select view source at cache version of the page.
2. At the source window, press ctrl+f and type posted something like this
postID=4950781826288432010 ‘Note it down.
3. Now, go to the blog post’s blog dashboard that you want to recover. (Note: Since you can create a maximum of 100 blogs per account, each blog that you create has a unique blog ID)
4. Open any published post (or) open a new post and click the edit option to open post editor.
5. Replace the post ID you find on the browser bar with the deleted post ID that you noted down at step 2.
6. Press Enter key, and the post editor will display the deleted post content in it.
7. Now click the publish button to make the deleted blog post re-appear live on the internet.

2. Type blogger on the address bar. It will list some recently visited blogger sites.
3. Open all the addresses to find the draft post.

Blogger will remove URLs from its cache version that were dead for 90 days, but we have another crawler called “way back machine,” just like google crawler. This crawler also crawls and saves the cached file in its database.
1. visit https://archive.org/
2. Enter the URL into the search field and click browse history.
3. It plot’s the dates of the URL crawled last.
