A good content will help you rank better on SERPs and you also have to gather some links.
Initially, as a starter in blogspot, you must focus first on providing information on the blog and some good post/content. Doing so, bots will crawl your blog naturally and might get indexed in SERP.
have a rich content and attractive to the visitor to visit... do an off page and on page optimization.... update the blog..
Create your interesting and unique content using your targeted keywords. Coding has nothing to do with SERP.
You will improve your SE rankings. But it wil take time. Just be patient. Meantime, make sure that you do all the basics of SE optimization.
the most important is to set your content then creat the good article and submit submit them to dig or whatever you want. If you can you have to post everyday at least 1 or 2 post.
Along with good and unique content, go for Blog Submissions, RSS Submissions, Discussion Forums, Social Bookmarking and Link Building ....
Frequent article posts is what works for blogspot. if you update only once or twice in a week than better start a normal website or your own domian blog.
