How to remove Attribution Links from your Blogs?

You might have noticed that when you open a blog in blogger/blogspot, one or two non-editable attribution links always appear either on sidebar or in footer. One of such attribution links is given below:


When you click on its edit option, there won't be any button from where we can either hide it temporarily or remove it permanently. 


But don't worry, we can do it so by doing some editions in HTML in our blog template. So to get it let us consider the following steps:


When you open the given attribution from its edit button, the address of this particular link will be given in its URL tab-something like attribution 1 or attribution 2. Keep that noted and go to edit HTML of your blog. 

When you open the HTML part of your blog theme and search typing the URL address of the link, you'll find it embedded in the blog theme HTML. It will appear something like:

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'>
          <b:includable id='main'>
    <b:if cond='data:feedbackSurveyLink'>
      <div class='mobile-survey-link' style='text-align: center;'>
        <data:feedbackSurveyLink/>
      </div>
    </b:if>

When we look in the nature of above attribution, we can say that it's being locked from doing any editing. That's why we cannot remove it. In above if we make 'Locked='False'' from being True, we can remove it from home page of our blog. Make True into False and save it. 

Once it's being saved, open your blog once more and click on its edit button. There one option to remove will appear. Click on that. Your attribution will be removed from your blog thereby giving clean and professional looks. It's easy. Keep learning and blogging. Cheers!
