back-bone of your blog. Your all over success and popularity depends

great results out coming with in few time. But, if you don’t have than
the results will be negative. So, we provide you all the necessary steps
you must implement in your blog to make its SEO perfect.
Sometimes
people new to the blogging world also waste their huge amount on hiring
SEO experts for their blogs but I am not in this favor because Search
Engine Optimization of your blog is not such a difficult job and you can
do it easily by your own ways.
Best SEO Blogger Tricks
1. Use Suitable, Relevant and Attractive Post Title
Yes
that’s true, you should use a relevant, suitable and attractive title
for your post. Because as its human nature that whenever a person
searches something and your post appears in it, if your post title is
attractive the searcher will quickly land on your blog. So, just see the
below tips to make your post titles attractive.
- Use Targeted Keywords in your post title.
- Don’t make it too long or too short, just make it that way so the people can understand it.
- Don’t use complex wording in titles because usually people search using common words and in this way your post will not appear.
- Never use more than 60 characters in your post title.
2. Use Targeted Keywords In Your Article
Use
targeted keywords in your article as it is considered an important part
of the on-page SEO, but keep in mind don’t use it too much because it
will come in the criteria of black-hat SEO than. Ideal keyword density,
used in an article is about 2-4%.
3. Show Post Title First In Search Engines
By
default in blogger templates, the blog title is displayed first in
search engine and the post title is displayed after it. This should not
happen because if your blog title is long, when people will search
something related to your blog niche, your blog posts will also appear
but in search your blog title will be visible only due to which the
visitors will not visit your blog. So, for correcting this thing we have
had to add a piece of coding in blogger template.
- Go to Blogger Dashboard > Template > Edit HTML.
- Search for <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
- Replace the above code with below codes.
<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == "index"’> <title><data:blog.title/></title> <b:else/> <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title> </b:if>
4. Turn on H2 Heading Tag For Post Title
Headings
are the most important html tags. Usually we use H1 tag for blog’s post
and H2 for the post titles but by default in blogger templates, blogger
uses H3 for post title so we must promote post titles from H3 to H2.
5. Optimize Labels Links In Blogger
Labels
are very precious items in blogger as we can use them as separate
categories. But these labels sometimes provide difficulty for the search
engine because search engine crawlers take these labels as content
pages and index them. So, we have to tell the crawlers that they are not
allowed for indexing so that it shouldn't create the duplicate content
issue.
- Go to Blogger Dashboard > Template > Edit HTML.
- Search for <a expr:href=’data:label.url’
- Replace the above code with the below code
- Save Template.
<a expr:href=’data:label.url’ rel=’tag’
6. Optimize Comment Content Links
Do
you receive huge amount of comments daily ? Then you might have noticed
that some commentator's insert the outgoing and irrelevant links in the
comments which are not good for the proper SEO. So, we've to insert the
no-follow attribute for it which will tell the search engine's crawler
to do not follow it.
- Go to Blogger Dashboard > Template > Edit HTML.
- Search for expr:href=’data:post.createLinkUrl’
- Replace the above code with this following.
- Save it.
rel=’external nofollow’ expr:href=’data:post.createLinkUrl’
7. Optimize Blog Archive Widget For Better SEO
This
problem is almost same with the optimizing labels links. Archive and
Labels pages show the same posts which are sent to the search engine for
index. Now, the posts are already indexed and if the search engine's
robot come to label and archive pages then it will see the same content
which is already indexed and here it makes the duplicate content issue.
So now disable the archive pages for index.
- Go to Blogger Dashboard > Template > Edit HTML.
- Search for <a class=’post-count-link’ expr:href=’data:i.url’>
- Replace the above code with this following code.
- Save it.
<a rel=”archives” class=’post-count-link’ expr:href=’data:i.url’>
8. Enable Search Description and Custom Robots Header Tags
You
can write a description of your blog as well as a separate description
for every single post but for this you have to do some work. Checkout
these posts for detailed Search Description and Custom Robots Header
Tags guide. Just follow the below simple steps.
- Go to Blogger Dashboard > Settings > Search Preferences > Meta Tags
- Tick Mark Yes and write maximum description of your blog within 150 words.
- Now below the same page their will be an option Custom Robots Header Tags. Enable it and adjust the settings same as below.
Save changes.
By this you can write a separate meta description for a single post
which is a very good option as it will help your post better ranked in
search engine.
9. Add a Custom Robots.txt File
This
is an advanced option. This option was not available in the blogger’s
old interface but is present in the new interface. You have to use this
option correctly otherwise it will be causing trouble for you. By this
option you can tell the search bots, which part of your blog should be
indexed and which should be not. Just follow the below simple steps.

- At the end there will be Custom Robots.Txt .
