    Does anyone have any tips for optimizing the blogger.com template?

    When I run my site through http://www.vipsem.com/meta-tag-and-keyword-analyzer-marketing-tool.html , I see all kinds of weird keywords that I would just not expect. Is this normal for an unoptimized blogger.com site?


    Here is just half of the list:

    It may not be recognizing the blogger tags because they arent standard? Try making a static html template of the blog content without the tags and see what it says then

    I'm new to Blogger myself. Can't the CSS code be put in a separate file?

    Sure, you can do whatever you want. You can hack the template up however you would like.

    Great, thanks for the link! I was wondering how to do article titles in the header. I also came across this link http://blog.wgcsoft.ca/2004/08/blogger-seo-tips.html while I was reading though the post. There is some good information there as well.

    ...I was just instructed I can not have live links until I my 10th post...life is so rough as a PEON! :cool:
