Best Blogger SEO Tips

The default blogger page titles are in the format (Blog Name: Post Name) .It is better to user the format (Post Name:Blog Name) ,Because search engines give more importance to first words in title.Also in search engine results page (SERP) , post titles may not appear completely in default format so If you change it ,you can improve your Click Through Rate.

How to Change Default Blog Title Template ?
From your Dashboard go to (Design) then (Edit HTML) .You will see your template code there. In that template code find

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>


and replace it with :
<!-- Start Changing the Blogger Title Tag -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/><b:if cond='data:blog.pageName'> | </b:if><data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>
<!-- End Changing the Blogger Title Tag ->


Now click (SaveTemplate).

As you must know , (description + keywords)Meta tags are important for search engines , But the default blogger template has only static description tag ,As a result the blog use same description meta tag for all pages.Search engines doesn't like duplicate meta tags ,So we will work to add different meta tag for each blog post.

How to add different meta tag for each blog post ?
From your Dashboard go to (Design) then (Edit HTML) .You will see your template code there. In that template code find

<meta expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' name='description'/>

replace with folllowing :
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of post1"'>
<meta content='keywords for post 1' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='description for post 1' name='description'/>
</b:if>

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of post2"'>
<meta content='keywords for post 2' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='description for post 2' name='description'/>
</b:if>

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of post3"'>
<meta content='keywords for post 3' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='description for post 3' name='description'/>
</b:if>

Now click (SaveTemplate).

I have added examples of post1 ,post2 and post3 , you have to add (description + keywords) meta tags manually , and repeat porcess for each post of your blog.

Note:The way you phrase your descriptions can make or improve search engine result and increase CTR.

When you use images in your posts ,always add Alt tags for each one. Search engines can not read images and will use alt tag to identify it.Using alt tag may also brings you traffic from image search engines.
For example :

<img src="imageurl"/ >


can be replaced as

<img alt="description for the image" src="imageurl"/ >

Before you start to write new post ,keep in your mind all keywords related to your post that can visitors put in search engines , and try to add them to your post.If you want keywords suggestions use Google Keyword Tool.

Too many links on a page makes it unfriendly for search engines. So you have to add the rel='nofollow' tag to not so important links.So If you use social bookmark buttons like that for twitter,digg,stumble etc, try making them (nofollow).
Also there is unimportant pages to search engines ( you don't need visitors to come to these pages by search engines) like contact me page,link to me page,about me page etc.., make the links to these pages (nofollow) too.

Submitting to blog directories gives you backlinks to improve blog ranking in search engines,Also you may have visitors coming for these directories.
Some blog directories :

• technorati PR(7)
• blogarama PR(7)
• bloggapedia PR(7)
• bloghints PR(5)

Note: When building back links use your primary keyword as the anchor text.

Track the progress of your website by using this great tool Google Webmaster Tools.It tells you which websites links to your site ,search queries form search engines ,and most common keywords Google found when crawling your blog.
Also gives you HTML suggestions to avoid Duplicate meta descriptions and titles in your posts.

Pinging is a way to notify a search engines that your blog's content has been updated .Whenever you add new post for your blog or update an existing post you have to make ping.There are a lot of ping services on the web ,but I use Ping-O-Matic.

Search Engines do not re-index each page of your blog every day. So these changes won't be reflected onto Google Search result pages until Google's crawlers reach that page again,Be patient !.
