Make your Blog Post Title SEO Friendly

By default, the Blog Post Title that Blogger creates has the Blog Name followed by the Post title. This is not so SEO Friendly and it determines how you your blog title is displayed in search results. Making it more relevant increases the chances of people clicking through your link and besides, doing this is really very simple!

Change Blog Post Title
  1. Go to Design > Edit HTML in your Dashboard
  2. Search for:
    <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
  3. Replace it with:
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'> 
      <title><data:blog.title/></title>
    <b:else/> 
      <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title> 
    </b:if>
    
  4. Save the Template

Note: The changes on your Blog will be immediate, but the results to show up on the search engines may take up time depending on how they spider and change their databases.
