Make your blog SEO Friendly

Here are some tips to make your blog SEO friendly:

1.) Meta tags:

• Logging to your dashboard and go to settings-->Search preference, then click edit meta tag and insert a description of 150 characters to activate it for the home page. Add some thing that is related to your niche.
• Now each time you create a new post, click on search preference at the right hand side of the page and add a little description for the post. Make it brief and simple. That's all.

NOTE: This features is only available to the new blogger interface

2.) Making SEO Friendly Blogger Page Title:

                Page title is the band of text that appears at the top of your web browser. More importantly is also the clickable link that shows up on the search engine results page (SERP). From an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) perspective, page title is the single most important element in your blog in terms of ranking well in search engines.

              A keyword-rich, well-constructed page title can help boost your position in SERP listing and increase clickthroughs.

              In Blogger, the page title of a post page is made up of blog title and post title, like below..

          Google only shows up to 70 characters of the page title in search results.  When the page title exceeds the limit, Google simply cuts it off. Unfortunately the victim (of being cut off) is the keyword-rich post title.

          So what now, how do you show the post title in full without shortening it? Simple, just reverse the order. Put post title in front, giving it priority over blog title.

Here’s how you do it:

• Login to your Blogger account.
• Go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML.
• Back up your template.
• Look for the following lines in your template code:

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

• Replace it with this:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'> 

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

<b:else/> 

<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title> 

</b:if>

• Save.

The code above will put post title in front of blog title on post and static pages.

Here’s the result:

See now the post title is shown in full. The optimized page title is definitely better, more SEO friendly since none of the keywords are missing.
