Learning search engine optimization (SEO) for your Blogger blog (Blogspot blog) by optimizing your post title tags for search engines like Google and Yahoo is very important and that’s what I am going to teach you today. So, let me tell you how to improve search engine results by optimizing post title tags.
You must know that by default your Blogger blog (Blogspot blog) does not have search engine optimized title tags. It is a great shortcoming which places your blog at a disadvantage compared to other blogs that have inbuilt SEO or improved SEO modules. Such sites are likely to be placed more highly in search engine results.
The order of title tags is like that your blog name comes first followed by the title of the post. This is not an ideal situation for your blog as search engines like Google and Yahoo give more importance to the first words of a title.
I got a simple SEO trick free of cost for your template which can resolve this problem. By simply reversing the position of the blog name and page title significant success can be obtained in search engine results.
So if you want to improve your Blogger Powered Blog's SEO that is important for your blog, follow the steps below.
1. Login to your blog at Blogger.com and navigate to Template > Edit HTML > Proceed
2. Backup your template by downloading it to your computer. It ensures that you can upload your template before these changes in case of problems.
3. Search for this tag:
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
4. Replace(means remove code above and place code below) this tag with the following:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
<title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title>
</b:if>
5. Click on Save Template and then View Blog. <title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title>
</b:if>
Now after this whenever you will search for your site will you see a great change in search results. A significant improvement will be made in traffic accessing the site. If you too implement this page title trick and continue you are on your way toward higher search engine rankings.
This hack works only in XML blogger templates. I will suggest everybody to implement this hack to improve his/her blog's Google Ranking and to get more traffic.
