Optimize Blogger Title

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

By default, the title of the post will come after the main title of the blog to be in the following structure: Blog Title >> Post Title.

That structure is not good for SEO because search engines crawl the title from left to right and you need to edit the title to show the post title before the main blog title to get it in the following structue: Post Title >> Blog Title.

Steps to do it:

1. Go to your blog “Dashboard”.
2. Choose “Layout”.
3. Choose “Edit HTML”.
4. Download Full Template, to recover the old template if you make any mistakes.
5. Find this code: <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

6. Replace it with this code:
<!– Start Widget-based: Changing the Blogger Title Tag –>
<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == “item”‘>
<b:section id=’titleTag’>
<b:widget id=’Blog2′ locked=’false’ title=’Blog Posts’ type=’Blog’>
<b:includable id=’comments’ var=’post’/>
<b:includable id=’postQuickEdit’ var=’post’/>
<b:includable id=’main’ var=’top’><title><b:loop values=’data:posts’ var=’post’><b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/></b:loop> ~ <data:blog.title/></title></b:includable>
<b:includable id=’backlinkDeleteIcon’ var=’backlink’/>
<b:includable id=’feedLinksBody’ var=’links’/>
<b:includable id=’backlinks’ var=’post’/>
<b:includable id=’status-message’/>
<b:includable id=’feedLinks’/>
<b:includable id=’nextprev’/>
<b:includable id=’commentDeleteIcon’ var=’comment’/>
<b:includable id=’post’ var=’post’><data:post.title/></b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>
<!– End Widget-based: Changing the Blogger Title Tag –>

7. Save Template and check the changes.

Optimize WordPress Title

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

By default, the title of every post will be in the following structure: Blog Title >> Blog Archive >> Post Title.

That structure is very bad for SEO because all major search engines crawl the titles from left to right, so you need to add the main keywords “the title” of the post at the left before the main blog title. It is will be more good to make the post title alone.

Steps to do it:

1. Download SEO Title Tag Plugine.
2. Unzip the plugin and upload it to wp-content >> plugins.
3. Go to your control panel and choose “Plugins”.
4. Activate the SEO Title Tag plugine.
5. Go to “Persentation” >> “Theme Editor”.
6. At the left, Choose “Header”.
7. Find <title> tag.
8. Replace all <title> tags and all things between <title> and </title> with this code:
<title><?php if (function_exists(’seo_title_tag’)) { seo_title_tag(); } else { bloginfo(’name’); wp_title();} ?></title>
9. Update file and check the changes.
