so important to every one? You will find the answer to this very important
question reading this post. There are a lot of plugins available in wordpress
that helps in SEO; I won’t talk about those in this post. This post will focus more on how to do SEO
for Google Blogspot
aka Blogger. Blogger is most widely used free blogging platform, many people
use blogger including me for various reasons. But in this post we will focus on
SEO; I will list a few things that you can do to make your blogspot blog an SEO
friendly blog.
Why
SEO Is Important
SEO is very important for every blog or website. Better SEO will make
your Blog/website viral in the search
result and you will be gifted free organic traffic by Search Engines. A
good SEOed blog will be listed top on the search results by the search engine.
Do you remember the last time you went beyond the second or even the first page
of the search results? People always prefer top results. So I guess now you
know why it is important to do SEO
for your Blog.
How To Do SEO For Blogspot
1)
Provide custom Meta description in every single post you publish. The new
Interface by Google Blogger has made this thing very easy to add a custom
description. You can simply add it while publishing a new post by adding 2-3
lines in the description box on the right sidebar.
2)
Adding keywords to your post’s content is very important. You should
try to maintain atleast 2-3% of keyword density in your post. By this I mean if
you have a 500 words post you can add 10-15 keywords.
3)
Blogspot’s new interface now allows you to choose custom permalinks for your
post. Format your post url in such a way that it explains everything about your
post and include the necessary keywords. It should not very long and not
even a small one is good. It should be near to 50 characters.
4) There
is one more very cool trick you should do and it is to format your post
title that will help
your
post getting an identity among the other search results. Go to Edit HTML from
your blog template,
Click
on expand the template and search for <title><data:blog.pagetitle/>
</title>
now replace this with the code written below:
<b:if
cond= 'data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
<title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title>
</b:if>
5)
Format your blog images as well. This mean you need to add title and alt tag in
every image. This helps a lot in SEO. You can simple add it by clicking on an
image in the edit mode and then mention it in properties.
6)
Use proper Labels in your posts. Labels should be unique and descriptive. Add
at least 3-5 unique labels closely related to your post with every post you
publish.
7)
Add no-follow attribute to all the external links you mention in your post.
8)
Add Meta tags (description and keywords) in your blog template.
9)
Link building is very important for SEO.
10) Last but no the least always write quality
and unique content that will easily get up the search results and people may
voluntary link back to you. You can also add a link to me widget at the last of
every post.
