Simple Ways to Optimize Your Blogspot or Blogger Blogs

April 24, 2009

As we all know, Blogger blogs are not optimize unless you optimize it. I have a Blogger account and my first blog is from Blogger but I didn’t know about SEO and how to optimize  Blogger blogs. I’m not that geeky enough to understand those codes, hehehe… But then, I have found a few ways on how to Optimize your blog Templates on Blogger. By the way, I have already applied it just last week. So for those who also want to optimize their blogs on Blogspot or Blogger, just follow this simple instructions below…

Login to your blogger account, and on the Layout, click Edit HTML, don’t forget to check the Expand the Widget Templates before applying these codes below.

Find this default Title Tag code

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

and change it to this code:

<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;’> <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title> <b:else/> <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> </b:if>

Next, add Meta Keywords and Description Tags just above or before <b:skin><![CDATA[/*

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'> <meta name="description" content="This is where you place your web page's description." /> <meta name="keywords" content="place, your, keywords, here, separated, by, commas" /> </b:if>

Optimize your Blog Title's Heading. Most of the blogger templates uses H2 or H3 tags, so you have to change it, find this codes:

<b:if cond='data:post.title'> <h3 class='post-title entry-title'> <b:if cond='data:post.link'> <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a> <b:else/> <b:if cond='data:post.url'> <a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a> <b:else/> <data:post.title/> </b:if> </b:if> </h3> </b:if>

...and then change the one in red font color; h3 to h1. After that change the post title font size by adding this code before ]]></b:skin>

h1.post-title, .post h1 #Blog1 h1, #Blog2 h1 { font-size:1.5em; }

...and that's it! You're finished and you now have an Optimized Blogger Template. By the way, if you want your site to rank high in the search engines, continue building links with high page ranks or Submit your Blogs to Directories with High Page Ranks.
