Optimize Your Blog for Higher Search Results

How to Change your Blogger Title

After a long time i visited Blogger.com, I have optimized my company’s blogs, one of the challenges when choosing a ‘free Blog’ is the SEO implications based on your decision. There is a bunch of choices out there – WordPress, Blogger, Blogfreehere. Personally, I chose Blogger as my ‘free Blog’ of choice without a lot of research.

By default Blogger templates come with a “smart” tag inserted that automatically places the Blog Title before every post title in the title tags on the actual post pages. This “smart” tag also displays only the Blogger Title for the main page of the blog – meaning your blog title is shown on every page.

Title tag mean to me is a one line summary of what the page is about. The common understanding of the tag is to wrap the title of the site. Unfortunately for many people, the title of the site is completely un-descriptive of the content of the blog. For example, my blog is called “Internet Marketing Blog Online”. If I put this in the title tag, search engines really have no clue as to the content of each post on my site. It would be much better for SEO to place a keyword-rich description (e.g. “Optimizing Title Tags for Blogger”) in the title tag. The content of your title tag is what will be displayed in search engine results.

In Blogger, By default the title is “Blog Name: Blog Post Title”. As per search engine optimization, the “Blog Post Title” should come first and then the “Blog Name”.

For Title tag optimization you just need following process.

Go to Layout >> Edit HTML > > Click on “Expand HTML Widget” Then search for the following line of code:

Replace the above line of code with the following line of code:

<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == "index"’>

<b:else/>

</b:if>

Updated 5th of November 2011

Try this if its not working:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/><b:if
cond='data:blog.pageName'> -
</b:if><data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>

Click on “Save Template” and you are done. but let me know after few week you got more visits or not, i am sure you will get higher search results.

Way of Blog Promotion and Marketing

Posted on May 28, 2009 by Krunal Soni

In recent years blog posting have become one of the most successful forms of online journaling and for a good reason too. Not only does it provide private web users the ability to relate important information on a topic of their choice, but it supplies companies with a chance to provide the average web user with industry-relevant information. Whether this information relates to their products and/or services is of little important because, when done right, blog posting becomes a powerful SEO technique.

The success of blog posts relies on the fact that the author of the blogs has the necessary industry-relevant information, but also the ability to convey this information in an easy-to-understand and often entertaining way. Web users appreciate this far more than shifting through mundane industry-related jargon and text to find the information they want. This naturally not only spreads awareness on a specific product, service or company, but identifies the author as someone with a degree of competence on the specific subject. In short, it encourages consumer trust.

Additionally there exist other benefits to blog posting which pertain directly to SEO. They refer to the location of the blogs which, when all things considered, becomes an important decision to make.

The first of these locations refers to the company website itself. In this case the blog theme will be that of the entire website and it will also allow users to view additional entries, products, services, etc. While this is beneficial in terms of content from an SEO perspective, it does not necessarily offer all the possible benefits, as well see with our second location.

External blog-hosting websites are plentiful, each with its own look and feel. These require blog authors to log on and submit their posts which have been optimized for a specific set of keywords as well as a number of links back to the main website. Again these online blogs can often be customized to reflect the company theme. The benefits of this type of blog are that it is accessible to more users, especially to those on the same platform and others who arrive by means other than search engines. In addition these platforms are often regarded as high-quality by search engines, which mean that any backlinks created, will count toward search engine ranking status.

Now, the catch to successful blog posts is that it should be done on a regular basis with the content preplanned to reflect interesting topics for web users and, if applicable, a certain amount of keyword density and other optimization techniques for search engines. While all of these can be done alone, it does require a certain amount of skill and a fair amount of discipline and time.

Companies who can’t employ their own writers often outsource the job to external companies, like us. With the necessary experience and exceptional literary skills, our writers are capable of writing on every subject with clarity and in the relevant tone. Blog posting done right can mean a positive change for your business.

Real Estate: SEO & Blogging

Blogs are quickly adding a new dynamic to web exposure!

It use to be, about 2 years ago (ancient in web years), you could simply have a website, build a lot of anchor text links to it targeting specific keyword phrases, and after 3 – 6 months you’d “maybe” hit the front page of Google.

Then toward the end of last year, beginning of this year, Google (and all other major search engines) started to change their algorithms to favor less of the commerical / static websites, and favor more of the informational / blog sites. From there perspective, static commercial websites weren’t giving searchers what they were looking for which is informational content. But blogs, forums, and other sources of freshly updated content is a perfect match.

Search Engines Favor Blogs.

So now this has really changed the dynamics of how we help clients gain exposure in Google. We are now building professionally designed blogs with powerful call to action elements, and then generating highly optimized, keyword targeted content within their blog.

The consistent generation of freshly updated, keyword targeted content is having a huge impact on our clients exposure in search engines. Most of the blogs we launch are crawled and indexed in Google sometimes the same day we publish it and post our first article – which is super fast, and super powerful.

And since we’ve done the homework upfront for our clients and identified a long list of keyword phrases that their prospects are actually using, we have a powerful tool that basically tells us what type of content to generate that accents those targeted keywords.

It’s a powerful solution that delivers amazing results – and quite frankly, the majority of businesses are still hung onto yesterday’s algorithms – which makes it even easier for my clients to blast right by them in Google, and be the first one to connect to that new client that’s searching specifically for what they offer.
