Make Your Blogger Blogspot Post Titles SEO Friendly!

Blogger Blogspot post titles are not SEO friendly. The article title is after the Blog title every time by default in Blogger. This causes a SEO issue with individual articles. So to give your article a boost in search ability...

Here is how to fix this . Go to Blogger Dashboard and go to Layout then edit HTML > find the code section in the top of the template that looks like:

<title><data:blog.pagetitle></title> (Underlined in picture.)

and replace it with

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

Now the individual pages will have original post title first and foremost .

Install a blog traffic counter in Your Blogger Blogspot Template!

Install a Blogger Blogspot Traffic Counter:

Blogger Blogspot does not having a inbuilt traffic counter is a major mistake by Blogger. So lets install at least a basic page traffic counter in your Blogger blog.

I have installed SEO Logic^® Website Hit Counter to this blog. It is located at the bottom of the page (post column).

For more information on choosing traffic counters see this link below!

http://www.seologic.com/webmaster-tools/hit-counter.php

This is a simple and fast loading counter that does what it says. It counts the hits to your website. It lets you put in your starting count. It can be put in the side bar or at the bottom or top of your post column! (Mine is at the bottom of the post column)

That is really what you want to play with more than any other statistic... :)

Dislike Atom Feed Showing On Your Blogger Blog? (Then Get Rid Of It)

.feed-links {display: none; }

See this simple little snippet of code above. That little snippet of code installed in your blogger template right below your - Variable definitions before the start of CSS, will remove the Atom Feed link located at the bottom of your main column.

Now why would you do this?

Some people do not like the blogger only attribute of having the feed located at the bottom of the main column. That is a dead giveaway that you are using Blogger Blogspot for hosting!

So if you are comfortable with your level of HTML ability then copy and paste this code into the template of your Blogger Blog. As always back up your template before performing HTML additions and alterations.

.feed-links {display: none; }

So just go to your dashboard and click on Layout then HTML. Then without expanding template enter the code snippet as suggested above. Just keep the code in the CSS section.

All done and your Atom Feed will disappear. :)
