    Hi, would like to seek what are the top SEO techniques for blogspot's blogs so that SEs can better rank them higher.

    I've intend to start a couple of blogs on the free Blogger platform, hence, would want to give a good headstart by doing it right. Thanks in advance.

    1. You could add in META tags with loads of META tag generators out there.

    2. You could submit your blogs to blog directories so to get more incoming links. I got a blog directory and you could submit your blog to it for free and reciprocal is optional which is called Blog Announce - http://blogannounce.info

    3. You could exchange links with bloggers that have same topics with you and get more incoming links.

    Is wordpress better than Movabletype? If so, why ... and thank you for your time in explaining.

    Best,

    I like worldpay, its too easy to set up and manage, while Movable type require licensing and many requirements to rebuild pages.

    Agreed :) I didn't care for (learning) the Blog code using movabletype, when trying to edit and customize it manually.

    bear in mind, if you want to host your blog on wordpress, you are not allowed to have ads. blogspot does allow you to easily integrate adsense on the other hand. (I have a blog hosted at wordpress that gets tons of traffic for a very competitive keyword....but I can't make any money off of it! How frusterating!)

    you cannot have ads on a wordpress.com site. trust me. javascript is disabled, and your blog can get deleted by the WP powers if you even try. ????

    backing you up. ;) no ads on wp YET. they are thinking if they will allow it or not. (I hope not :p )

    edit: you can however host WP on your own domain (or a free host) and put ads on it. ;)

    Yes, I'm using WordPress myself with own hosting as I believe in "ownership" and have full control of the blog.

    Yeap, no Adsense on free blogs on Wordpress.com.

    I'm hoping to help some friends (who would prefer to do it free ie. blogspot) to earn via Adsense. Hence, wondering if there're more SEO techniques that can be done to blogspot other than metatags.

    Are you referring to a blog platform or a payment gateway?

    Yes: be careful, because they like to erase blogs for anything that looks like overoptimization.

    blogger blogs are always good after that only WP comes, we can host blogger on your hosting also, blogger core files are very good for SEO , we get auto static links and good stcture, even if u use perm option in WP and rewrite, links are not so good as blogger.

    Ah, that reminded me of Blogger accidentally deleted 8 of my blogspots. 3 of the blogspots are restored ... I didn't follow up with the rest as they're not the main one. Just don't like the feeling of blogs disappearing overnight. If possible, really need to own hosting and url.
