In the previous post about Blogger title tweak, I’ve mentioned about the other way of optimizing blog title structure,swapping blog title name with post title name.

As said earlier,default blogger.com blogs title structure is “Blog Title followed by post title” for individual posts,now let’s see how to change this structure to “Post title followed by blog title”  (swapping).

1.Go to Dashboard>>Select your Blog>>go to Layout Section>>Click Edit HTML tab

Find the little HTML section code shown by the red arrow in the following image your template HTML code

tweaking blogger title Where you’ll find the following title tag.

<title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title> [Note:You may also use CTR+F function in your browser to search this little code.]

3.Replace the above code with this one:

 <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>

[note that this will still show your blog title at home page,only changes individual posts structre]

4.Save the Template and open any post from your blog and observe the title structure on the top of your browser it must now look like “blog post title | blog title”

Like wise,Wordpress blogs titles also can be tweaked for better Search Engine Optimization,soon be posted here.

Blogger blog title tweak for better SEO

by

Blogger.com is most widely used free blogging platform on the internet.Easy to use interface,ability to  publish post at one click does make it a highly recommended platform for newbie bloggers.

Having said that,one must also say that Blogger  blogs are not so optimized for Search Engines.Take for instance the title structure of the individual posts which is “Blog title followed by Post title” by default in blogger.This may not be the one you want particularly if you are concentrating on SEO for your blog.

Let’s see one way to change this Blogger default title structure for individual posts to just “post title” (thus eliminating the undesired blog title at the beginning of the title structure].

1..Go to Dashboard>>Select your Blog>>go to Layout Section>>Click Edit HTML tab

title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title> [pointed by the red arrow in the image].

3.Replace the above code with the following code:

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

4.Hit the Save Template button and load any of your blog posts in the browser and observe the change in the title structure,the new structure will only show Post title alone.
