Simple SEO for Blogger

• Aug. 29, 2006

After my first month on being blogger I checked the number of pages I had indexed in Google by going site:manojjasra.blogspot.com and noticed that Google showed:

Results 1 - 1 of about 30

and further down the page:

In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 1 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.

I quickly realized that my blogger template didn''t offer any meta keyword or description options, so I added my own:

This made it so that the title of each blog listing would become the description and keywords; this promoted dynamic tags throughout the site. Quickly, Google updated its index and I had no more "omitted results"

Recently, I read an excellent post where someone has modified blogger code in the template even further to enhance the meta tags.

Reading the comments from that post tell me that this technique will have nothing but a positive affect on a blogger blog in terms of SEO.
