Optimising a Blog

Get Your Blog Listed by main search engines Add Your Blog to Yahoo and Submit your Sitemap Getting listed in the top search engines is a must if you'd like to get traffic from search sites.

Follow these articles for step-by-step walkthroughs Optimise Your Blogger Post Titles big search engines lend lots of weight to titles so it's really important that you craft your post titles meticulously. To optimise your post titles make them keyphrase heavy and make sure the title obviously explains what the blog post is about.

Try and put your keywords at the start of your title for most satisfactory results and avoid repeating your keywords in the title.

Avoid long titles as Google only displays about sixty five characters in the search results anyhow. Title tags are vital if your Blogger blog is to draw in traffic and rank in search website results. On your blog home page the blog title appears between the title tags while on every individual post page it's the name of the draft itself. While the title tags themselves are unseen by the visitor to your blog they're read when search websites crawl your blog. Search websites use title tags to display your post title as a title in search site results. Search websites also display an outline of the tract either by removing it from the post content generally by picking up the 1st 150 characters of your post or by reading the meta outline of the post if one exists. Meta outlines can be made for individual posts in Blogger to good effect. Make outlines unique for each post and guarantee they contain your target keywords and key phrases to inspire search engines to extract pieces from them.
