Title optimization is very important thing in seo, specially in 2015, blog title optimization is the first step to get high blog traffic. Although description and keywords are also very important but if you are very serious about your blog traffic then you must concentrate titles of your blog first, because the titles are on the top. You must have read about titles optimization in blogger by adding a separator between blog and post title, but that's not enough because that only works for post pages and what about other pages? so you have to optimize them too for more better results. Therefore in this post I will show you how to optimize your "blog posts", "pages" and also "page not found" pages for seo. If you have read this post http://101helper.blogspot.com/2014/12/blog-title-optimization-for-seo-in-blogger.html then your blog is 90% optimized but after applying this post your blog titles will be 100% optimized for search engines. So lets begin!
Step 1: Go to blogger dashboard > template > edit template.
Step 2: Search for the following codes:
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
If you didn't find it then find 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>
Step 3: Replace it with the following code:
<title><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'><data:blog.pageTitle/><b:else/><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "error_page"'><data:blog.pageName/> | 101Helper<b:else/>Page not found | 101Helper</b:if></b:if></title>
Step 4: Replace 101Helper with your blog name.
Step 5: Save your template and you are done.
Congratulations! you are successfully optimized for search engines.
How does it work?
It works in a very simple way. The old code which is recommended by every website/blog(used in step 2) adds a separator in only post titles and has no concern with other pages like contact, sitemap etc but these pages are also important as they are indexed so the new code which we used in step 3 adds separator in other pages too. To see a demo visit my blogs sitemap and see at the top of your browser.
Optimized robot text:
As above you have optimized your blog's titles for search engines therefore you have to use optimized robot text also to block those pages from being indexed that don't have any description or optimized titles(category/label pages). So I have created 100% optimized robots text which will surely help you in getting higher traffic. Follow below steps to add 100% optimized robots text in your blog:
Step 1: Navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Search Preferences > Crawling and Indexing > Custom robots txt > Edit.
Step 2: Copy the below text and paste it into custom robots text window:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://Youblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
Step 3: Replace http://Youblog.blogspot.com with your blog's Homepage url.
Step 4: Click on save changes.
