If you are the new to blogger and you are frustrated because small number of people visit your blog or you are not getting high ranking in search engines; even after you have submitted your blog to blog directories and Google/Yahoo sitemaps.

Luckily, Blogger have come up with a simple fix for this problem for those who use Layouts(Templates).

The following code works for creating different page titles for the homepage, archives, and individual entries.

Go to Layout > Edit HTML, and find this code:

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

Replace with this following :

<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;’><title><data:blog.title/> : Your Blog Title Goes Here</title>
<meta content=’Add Your Description’ name=’Description’/>
<meta content=’Add Your Keywords’ name=’Keywords’/><b:else/>
<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == &quot;archive&quot;’><title><data:blog.title/> : Your Blog Title Goes Here</title>
<meta content=’Add Your Description’ name=’Description’/>
<meta content=’Add Your Keywords’ name=’Keywords’/><b:else/>
<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;’><title><data:blog.pageName/> - <data:blog.title/></title>
<meta expr:content=’data:blog.pageTitle’ name=’Keywords’/></b:if></b:if></b:if>

So what have been changed?

The old code only shows your blog title. Vs. The new code shows the post title first plus description and keywords meta tags.

…and now you have an SEO friendly blogspot / blogger page title.

Enjoy…
