Useful Tips and Tricks By SmartinJose
When we talk about SEO, very first thing which you need to keep in mind is: We can control on site and off site SEO. On Page SEO is covered by you which includes article quality, how well it’s optimized for Keyword and meta value for that article. No need, to feel furious or lost with above SEO terminology, as below mentioned guide will help you to learn every basic and make your Blogger blog more search engine friendly.
Format Blogger post URL link
Blogger maintains a policy to keep the number of characters in post
title to 50 . So if you are making a post like say , “Google released
new version of Google chrome download it right now ” , here the post
title is more than 50 character limit and the keyword download Google
chrome will go out of the URL link . In blogger we will not be able to
change the BlogSpot URL structure after publishing post . The only
solution is to include to format the title in such a way to include all necessary keywords
. So the publish the post little in above example as download Google
Chrome new version and later change it to the desired one .
Maintain the keyword density
Keyword density is a important aspect for better ranking. Too less
will lead to less ranking and stuffing your Keyword will lead to over
optimization. I usually maintain a ratio of 2%/post. Though, you can
pick keyword density for your Blog post SEO, account to one which works
for you. Publish articles in relevance to post title and include
necessary keywords in the post . Never stuff keywords to manipulate
search engines . But after finish you can analyze the whole post to find
out suitable locations where the keywords can be safely inserted
without distracting readers .
Blogspot proper labels and related posts
Label adds to the keyword density of the post . Labels should be
widened rather than putting them into single narrow category .I will
explain this point by an example . Consider a situation when you are
posting about Google chrome and putting them into label Windows
software’s or browser . Here you will miss keywords like Chrome browser
,Google chrome etc. which would otherwise add to the keyword density of
the whole post . Labels also affects related posts widgets in
Blogger.And if there are so many posts tagged with similar labels ,it
would affect the arrangement of articles in related posts .
Format Blogger post title
When we talk about BlogSpot SEO, post title plays a major role.
Blogger post title are usually followed by home page title . Have a look
at the image shown below .Here the post title should be “city of (long-distance ) Love! ” . But title is included with home page title ” Still in Berlin ” ,and this would harm the SEO friendliness of the article title . Here is how to fix this . Go to Blogger edit HTML > find out code section
title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title>and replace it with
<b:if cond= 'data:blog.pageType == "index"'> <title><data:blog.title/></title> <b:else/> <title><data:blog.pageName/></title> </b:if>Now the individual pages will have post title itself .

We have already shared a detailed article on Image optimization for
SEO and basis of optimization your image on BlogSpot is by adding alt
tag and title tags in every image. In WordPress this could be easily

Provide meta tags
Meta tags are generate HTML tags used by search engines to identify
the title , description and other details of a URL . They don’t have
much influence on search as they were before , but would make a slight
impact on targeted keywords .Provide good title ,description and footer text
Title ,footer and description plays an important role on search engine optimization of every blog . If you are targeting some keywords make sure that you included those keywords in the above mentioned locations .
Nofollow external links
Nofollow is an HTML attribute specified on hyperlinks to block search
engine advantage of external links in a website . In Blogger you can
select HTML section of the post window and add rel=”nofollow” attribute
just after URL to prevent search engines from crawling a particular link
. Also read : How to add nofollow link attribute to any link.
Format comment section
Comment section should be no-followed and moderated to avoid spam
comments . Try to include the post keywords when you are replaying to
reader comments . This would also add up to the total keyword density of
the post .Blogspot is Google’s baby blogging platform and if you do it right probably you will be doing great in terms of traffic. Always get your basic right.
