SEO Title for Blogger Blogspot

Posted on September 15, 2008 



We need a wordpress plugin to make a SEO[1]  title in our self-hosted wordpress blog and along with it a price. Since we cannot make it until we have our own domain, which is not free. For those blogger / blogspot users, however, you can do it just by a little tweak in the edit-html admin panel.

First of all, there are two types of the so-called SEO title, one is a link post that stands before a blog title / name if it’s seen through the browser window. Second, a link post that stands alone. When you open a link post, the blog title is not there. Blog title or blog name is shown when one opens up the main homepage. 

The first example (post title first, blog name second can be found here. It’s seen in the browser thus: Eight Months Baby | Newborn Baby Blogger (post title first and blog name comes second).

The second example can be seen in this blog. If you click this link, you’ll see the title Wordpress 2.7 Wish Lists without a blog title after it. Which one is more SEO friendly? I am not sure, some say the first while other say the second. Regardless, I like using the second type in this blog; while using the first type for some other blogs.

The more important thing for blogger / blogspot users is that you can make both types of SEO titles easily using this following simple tips (after login to your admin blog, click Layouts -> Edit HTML -> check “Expand Template widget”):

A. Post title first, blog name second:

1. Find this tag:

 <title><data:blog.title/></title>

2. Delete and replace with this code:

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

3. Don’t forget to click SAVE.

B. Post title only (blog title not shown)

1. Find this tag:

 <title><data:blog.title/></title>

2. Delete and replace it 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>

3. Click SAVE.

P.S. The tips works for new blogger / blogspot (xml); not for old blogger (classic template)

[1] SEO stands for search engine optimization a term used among webmasters and bloggers on how to get higher SERP (search engine result page).  Some believe that there are ways to ‘tweak’ your websites / blogs, to get satisfactory SERP the most important of which including, but not limited to, high PR (Page Rank), getting a backlink from a good site (meaning, a higher PR website which is equal or higher than your own), and “posting title management” as discussed here in this post.

Mas Fatih,
saya benar2 newbie di dunia blogging, dan baru belajar bikin blog sendiri di amrihgunawan.blogspot.com

Saya coba trik SEO title yg ke-2 yang ada di tulisan ini. Sudah saya copy persis dan sbb potongannya:

Amrih Gunawan
………


<![CDATA[ ………..

Tetapi kenapa Judul yg tertera di windows browser tetap Amrih Gunawan, sesuai title blog?
Dimana kesalahannya?

Satu lagi, di Amrih Gunawan saya coba ubah menjadi Amrih Gunawan « Get…. untuk menampilkan karakter “<<"

tetapi kenapa setelah saya save tanda ini "«" tidak ada lagi?

Terimakasih
Amrih Gunawan

Dear bro Fatih,

I’m using a pre-modified blogger template. I followed your directions, but got stuck in finding this tag:

But I realized that my template isn’t blogger default template. I searched for “title”, and guess what? Instead of the tag that you mentioned, mine was written as:

So I replaced that code with the one in your instructions by previously downloading my current xml template in case of something happened. So I pasted the new code, and it worked!

Thanks for this. I hope that my blog will going to be more seo friendly now. Have a visit :)

My blog url is here:
