Heading tags play an important role in Search Engine results as they help Search Engines to identify and recognize what is important in your blog. Headings can make your blog SEO friendly if they are tagged H1. Templates available in Blogger were designed while ago and haven’t been updated which results in poorly optimized templates. Making your Blogger template SEO friendly is very important.
1. Log in to Blogger Dashboard.
3. Back up your existing Template before making any changes.
2. Go to the Template tab and click on Edit HTML; ignore the warning and proceed.
4. Make sure to (tick mark) check the "Expand Widget Templates" box.
5. Find (Ctrl+F) the following code in your template:
<b:if cond='data:post.title'> <h3 class='data-title entry-title'>
<b:id cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr.href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a expr.href='data:post.url'><data:post.title>
<b:else/>
<data:post.title/>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</h3>
</b:if>
<b:id cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr.href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a expr.href='data:post.url'><data:post.title>
<b:else/>
<data:post.title/>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</h3>
</b:if>
and replace with H1 tag in as:
<b:if cond='data:post.title'> <h1 class='data-title entry-title'>
<b:id cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr.href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a expr.href='data:post.url'><data:post.title>
<b:else/>
<data:post.title/>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</h1>
</b:if>
<b:id cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr.href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a expr.href='data:post.url'><data:post.title>
<b:else/>
<data:post.title/>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</h1>
</b:if>
Heading H1 is too large and it looks like not good, so add another piece of css code in skin above: ]]></b:skin>
h1.post-title, .post h1 #Blog1 h1, #Blog2 h1 { font-size:1.5em;
}
}
8. Now save your template and it's done.
Tip: You can also use other css properties, background etc.
