by

Blogger stats

Blogger has just launched a new almost real-time like visits tracking to blogger.com blogs via

Blogger in Draft (which means that it is still in testing phase).

Though we have tools like Google Analytics, people still want to see their visits in real-time. But if you think that you are just a beginner with Blogger and not completely comfortable with all those advanced features in Analytics, then this is probably the one that you just needed.

Blogger Stats offers all basic information about your site visits in a far better easier way. You can see visitors details during intervals of one hour/day/week/month like which posts are getting most visits, the referring pointing to your blog, the geographic location of your visitors etc. [Checkout “Overview”, “Posts”, “Traffic Sources” & “Audience” tabs].

Just login to draft.blogger.com, and checkout the “stats” tab on your blog dashboard to get started.

by

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.
