    Though blogger belongs to Google but it doesn’t mean that it is fully SEO optimized. It needs to fixed those SEO related bugs so that it can compete with Wordpress.

    The first and most important thing is the posts titles. Google for instance, only looks at 80 characters in your blog’s post title. So if the post title begins with the blog name and only then the post title, quite a few characters may be missed by google. Example of a bad post title for Google:

    eTechDNA.com – Blogger (blogspot.com) SEO optimization

    To fix this, we need to have the title first and blog name last, something like this:

    Blogger (blogspot.com) SEO optimization – eTechDNA.com

    To Fixed These Follow the instruction:
    1. Go to Blogger Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML and click “Expand Widget Templates”.
    2. Find this:
    <title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title>
    HTML:
    3. Replace the above code with this:
    <!-- seo title Distrubuted by eTechDNA.com-->
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
    <title><data:blog.title/> : Blog title</title>
    <meta content='Blog description' name='Description'/>
    <meta content='kewords, separated, by, commas ' name='Keywords'/>
    <b:else/>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>
    <title><data:blog.title/> : Blog Title the same as above</title>
    <meta content='Blog description the same as above' name='Description'/>
    <meta content='keywords, the, same, as, above ' name='Keywords'/>
    <b:else/>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'><title><data:blog.pageName/> ~ <data:blog.title/></title>
    <meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' name='Description'/>
    <meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName + data:blog.title +data:blog.pageTitle' name='Keywords'/>
    <b:else/><title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title></b:if>
    </b:if>
    </b:if>
    <!-- /seo title Distrubuted by eTechDNA.com-->
    HTML:
