Hi, I dont think this has been covered already... What optimisation can be done to the blogger template to be more SE friendly? can you use this thread to list all the possible tweaks/ changes and suggest how they help for SEs Thanks
Take a look at my simple seo blog post Essential change to Blogger Templates The titles that come with the standard templates aren't clickable and that presents a major problem both in usuability and SEO terms.
Thanks for the tip and the link. The other change I made is to add Meta tags for description and keywords, I guess they dont do much but I thought it may help for the smaller SE. Ayone have any other ideas/ suggestions?
Lol, I would definiely need more than 4 minutes to reply, especially as I'm not online for long spells these days. I added the meta tags to the blogger template manually, and did not use a plugin. Has anyone used a plugin for this purpose?? Whats the advantage (if any) of doing it that way?
Heres a nice easy change that can be made, I have seen someone trying to do this previously using much more complex coding. I found this one on the Blogger help pages. <$BlogPageTitle$> - Gives your published blog pages smart titles ("Blog Name" for the index page, "Blog Name: Date Info" for archive pages, and "Blog Name: Post Title" for Post Pages). This tag should only be used in a Template's <head>, in between <title> and </title>.
