How to Optimize Post in Blogger For Better SEO

Optimize Your Post in Blogger

Optimizing post in blogger is the of the most important in-page SEO, our main focus is to make Google Bots crawl our website very fast and eventually index it, but of course optimizing it for READERS. Forget about the pagerank or ranking, I saw some new blogs who's post are getting index in an hour or two, hence google is now prioritizing quality over quantity and we are one of those blogs (hands down). So how are we gonna do this?

• Optimizing Rich Content 

The more the text the better, but hold on! it should be unique (not copy paste), images and videos should also be included, it is necessary to have at least 1 or 2 images and it depends if your post qualifies to have a video or not. As they say the more the merrier.

• Optimizing Heading Tags 

Use H1 only once for blog title, H2 for post title and should only be used once for better SEO, and H3 for subtitle and can be used a lot depending on how long is your post but don't make all your post H3, and H4 for mini titles usually used a lot or non at all.

• Usage of Blockquotes 

Sometimes we quote excerpts or sayings from others, means copying their quotes to our posts, just be sure not to overdo it, a sentence or two is fine and don't forget to give proper credits, unless you'll eat a breakfast of DMCA takedown notice. :>

• Proper Interlinking or in-page link building optimization 

Linking your older posts is one of the best SEO, as crawlers will also crawl your older posts faster, 2 or 3 links for your previous post is better, and be sure to anchor it with only relevant keywords, avoid hyper-linking general terms like "click here", "follow this link", that's a no no.

• Optimizing labels/tags 

Use only 3 to 5 tags the lesser the better, as google will think your post as spam if you put too many labels.

• Optimizing Custom Permalink 

As the title suggest permanent link or permalink, in blogger this is automatically generated, but we can improve this further by using the custom permalink, the thing is that we should avoid unrelated keywords in our permalink like "with", "the". Instead make it short and precise, 3 to 4 keywords related to your title post is fine.

• Optimizing post description or meta description 

Having a unique meta description is a plus for google, don't be lazy and just let google do the work. As a sample you will see a snippet below post title in google search, you will notice its been cut and sometimes not the right snippet for your post. Instead make your own description related to your post, and remember don't flood it with keywords 150 characters maximum.

• Optimizing Title Length 

Titles should not be too long, otherwise you will see your post title in google search been cut, and remember those short words should reflect what is your post all about, post titles should not be more that 65 characters, although yahoo shows title until 120 characters but just to be in the safe side limit it to 65 characters. 

• Optimizing Keyword Density  
  

Keywords should be limit to 2% to 4% of your total post, example, if you have 100 words in your post use only your keywords 2 to 4 times, as google will treat your post as spamming for high keyword density. 

I know this is a lot to take in, but for pro bloggers this is just a piece of cake, make it a daily habit and you'll get used to it. In making money online always consider readership, just a simple equation traffic = money. :)
