Blogger HTML Meta Description and Keywords Tags

Meta Keywords and Description Tags are really important in SEO, especialy when we want our blog / site to be listed within the search engines like google.

In this post you will learn which Meta Tags you will need and also where exactly to place them! Don't worry... it's not as difficult as you may think :)

By default Blogger Page Title is defined by:

<title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>

1. To make a big story to a short story... simply copy the Meta Tags code from the table below and optimise&change the title/keywors/description into your words.

<title><$BlogPageTitle$>Page Title of your Blogger</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="Keywords only, ok" />
<meta name="description" content="Short dicription about your blog" />

2. Find <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title> and delete it

4. Paste the new Blogger Meta Tags as seen on the picture below:












5. Finally save the template and you are done !

Also you can check out the post "Blogger XML Meta Description and Keywords" in case you are working on the Blogger XML Template. Have fun.

Blogger Permalink for a better SEO

Blogger Hack for better permalink SEO

The previous post was about a mod Blogger Meta Description - Keyword Tags, which would allow the search eangine to craw through your blog into more sections: Index, Posts, Archives. In this post you will get another simple blogger hack for better SEO !

Search engines like Google love keywords in Title and the URL, but in blogger the file name or the permalink of the post is based on the post Title you give/write. For example if the title is "Blogger Meta Description and Keywords Tags" then the link by default becomes to:

http://blogspot.com/blogger-meta-description-and-keywords.html - by removing any special characters.

You may think "well I am gonna write many keywords to the Title" but bear in mind that the title length is optimized/restricted to a curtain length - as well as - the Title would look too silly and too boring for the eye catching effect!

Here is a simple solution:

1) Give the post the title with the Keywords coming in first, so if you are writing a post on Blogger Hacks and Templates then make sure to include them in the first 5 words.

2) Publish the post then click edit post.

3) Now change the title to something a little more catchy and publish the post again !

NEVER STUFF THE TITLE WITH UNNECESSARY KEYWORD WHICH LAND YOU ON THE BAD BOOKS OF SEARCH ENGINE

Yep, that's all and you are done!

Avoiding the 5 Most Common SEO Mistakes

Since X, Y, and Z are so common, and the solutions to the problems are often the same, I decided to summarize the most common SEO mistakes, and their solutions, in this article. These SEO mistakes are:

1. using a non-standard title element
2. failing to optimize image markup
3. using spider-illegible JavaScript where legible code would do
4. failing to indicate the content hierarchy using header elements
5. poor grammar and spelling

Let's look at each of these problems in turn.

Using a Non-standard Title Element

First, let's define what we mean by a standard title element. Once that concept is clear, serious deviations from the standard will be obvious, and you'll find it easy to correct errors.

A standard title element should:

- include one or two of a web site's keywords
- include a reference to the page's fundamental content within the first three to five words (It's okay to include variations on one of the web site's keywords.)

The logic behind this definition is that spiders only really consider approximately the first 60 characters of a title element. Additionally, they're adept at identifying cases of keyword stuffing, which we'll look at later, and which should be avoided.

Blogger XML Meta Description and Keywords Tags

Almost everyone knows how importance the Meta Keywords and Description Tags are in SEO, especialy when we want our blog to be catched from the search engines! There are a lot of Blogger Widgets out there but there is no widget for Meta Tags, is there!?

I did some reasearch about it and came up with some easy mods to optimize the Meta tags for Keywords, Description, Title and even customize for the Index page, post page and archive - nice huh!? Well let's get into it!

By default Blogger gives only the title which is:

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

That piece of code gives the output as the Title of your blog but it is not really enough to have a good 'catch' from the search engines! The mod is made out of 3 sectors: Index (main page), Item page (the individual post page) and Archives.

1. Copy the SEO Blogger Meta Tag Code from below and customize the words according to your Blog criterias before you paste it to the XML Blogger Template:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'><title><data:blog.title/> : Write some stuff about your blog here not too much since only 60 char robot can read</title>

<meta name='Description' content='Describe your blog here since this is what will be shown if your index page comes in a search' />

<meta name='Keywords' content='Key, Words, Here, Dont, go crazy, only, add, relavent, keyword' /><b:else/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>

<title><data:blog.title/> : Write some stuff about your blog here not too much since only 60 char is all robot read</title><meta name='Description' content='Describe your blog here since this is what will be shown if your index page comes in a search' />

<meta name='Keywords' content='Add, some, more, key, word, here, but, keep, it, sane ' /><b:else/><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'><title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

<meta name='Keywords' expr:content='data:blog.pageTitle' />
</b:if></b:if></b:if>

2. Log into your Blogger Account -> Template -> Edit HTML

3. Find <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> and delete it

4. Paste the new Blogger Meta Tags as seen on the picture below:












5. Finally save the template and you are done !

Two Design Tactics To Improve Your Blog Income

Adsense is one of the most popular ways to monetize your blog. Two of the most popular Adsense advertising tactics that became widespread last year were:

1. Putting Adsense Ads beside images
2. Blending the design

You earn money on Adsense through clicks. Whenever a visitor clicks on the ad, revenue from advertisers is credited to your account. Putting thumbnail images beside ads increased the overall number of clicks. This works because people often associate the images with the ad and clicked on it.

The latest Adsense blog on images beside ads clarified this rule. You can no longer put images beside Ads.

Another known tactic was to blend the ads with the overall design. Google also frowns down upon this now. One blogger attempted to blend Adsense Ads to the overall design of a Wordpress blog. This is how it looked like:



Upon checking with Adsense support, however, it was found out that this design was unacceptable. From Adsense Support:

As you may know, publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises the ads in any way, for instance, by formatting neighboring content to look similar to the ads, or by making ads look like games or forum posts. Additionally, publishers may not attempt to associate specific images with the individual ads appearing on their sites. Such an implementation may confuse users who assume that the image is directly related to the advertiser’s offerings.

Please create greater distinction between the content of your site and the Google ads.

Knowing these two tactics are no longer entirely applicable, what’s the workaround? One way is to use Google’s own image ads beside beside text ads. For instance, you can use Google’s Firefox Ad beside Google text ads as follows:



You can also create more distinction between your ads and not blend it too much but still make it prominent on your blog. You must put your ads above the fold - it should be seen by readers once they visit your site. The recommended technique would be to place the Ad in between your text units as follows:

There is border around the Google Ad to distinguish it from the rest of the sidebar but the eyes are still drawn to it because it is strategically placed between blog post summaries. These techniques are tried and tested.

Try it out yourself and see how it improves your Adsense Clickthrough rate. Enjoy!
