Today I will share a tip for customizing your blogger template for better SEO. If you are using a Blogger template, you might notice that when you load a page or post the web browser displays the Blog Name followed by the Post Title. For example, Bloggers ‘N Dollar: SEO tip: Optimize your title in blogger. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it would be better to optimize the header so that the browser will only display the post title like how it appears for my blog. In my case you will only see SEO tip: Optimize your title in blogger.
I will share with you how to go about this. It is a simple hack which you can implement in a few minutes.
Step 1: Firstly you need to go to Edit HTML on your layout page.
Step 2: Look for this piece of code
<title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </ title>
Step 3: Replace the above code with
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <title> <data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/> </title> <b:else/> <title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </title> </b:if>
What you have done here will change the title according to the post that is being displayed. Google will consider the post title as the title of your blog and you will have a better chance of being displayed higher during a search - SEO. So go ahead and try this!
