SEO friendly Title for Blogspot/ Blogger

Post Title First + Blog Title Later

People who use Blogger or Blogspot for blogging may know that by default blog title is appear first then followed by post title. In terms of SEO this setting is not effective because when people search for specific contents then search engine can't bring them to our blog post which is related to their searched topic because our blog title is not represent our post content.

Our website is also not alone in search results, there are others' too and we have to compete healthily for traffic. Also, the last part of our title might be omitted if search engines consider that our title is too long. It is a big problem if the blog title appears in the beginning and the post title that represents the contents appear last (and omitted partially). Therefore, it will be great if the title introduces the contents directly (first), and show the blog title later (and omit-able).

For example, if I have a blog named "SEO/SEM Consultant Karachi, Pakistan" and I wrote a post titled "The Internet and Pakistan - Part One". Then by default my post title will be "SEO/SEM Consultant Karachi, Pakistan - The Internet and Pakistan - Part One", so if some one tried to search Internet and Pakistan topic then might be he/she will not reached to my blog. Because search engine can't index long titles and for that particular post it just index "SEO SEM Consultant Karachi Pakistan The ..."

So what if some blogger is not a professional programmer to re-write titles. My Answer is do nothing, J. Yes, do nothing just read this post and do what I said. It is easy as 1 2 3.

If you don't understand what I said then have a look in short. Usually search results come like following.

SEO/SEM Consultant Karachi, Pakistan - The Internet and Pakistan

The description of the blog
http://www.the-complete-URL-of-the-blog

If your blog appears like that then it is ok. But if it comes like

SEO/SEM Consultant Karachi, Pakistan - The Inte…

The description of the blog
http://www.the-complete-URL-of-the-blog

Then how can people and search engine understand "The Inter…??" is what your potential visitors will say before clicking another title, which contains more clarity.

Don't worry you can make it like following with little changes in template code, it is really easy and after that your title will be look a like following,

The Internet and Pakistan - Part One - SEO/SEM Consultant

The description of the blog
http://www.the-complete-URL-of-the-blog

First, you need to access "edit HTML" from "Layout" section of the dashboard. Leave the "expand template widget" un-checked, since you do not need to alter any elements of the widgets. Then search for this code (located in the upper part of the codes; head section), which is responsible in setting the title of the pages in blog

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

After finding it, select it carefully and replace it with following code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>

<b:else/>

</b:if>

Now your code is lookalike:

<head>

<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>

<b:else/>

</b:if>

Now save the template code, and have a look at your blog post. You will feel happy to see what you did by your hand. Now next time when search engine crawl your blog, the new setting will be applied handsomely.

Now do me a little favor please, post a comment about how much friendly my post is for you. If you really find it useful share it with others by digging it or stumble it. Thumbs up for you.

The Internet and Pakistan - Part One

Internet is the 3rd biggest source of information after TV/Radio and Print media in Pakistan. We can divide Pakistan's internet traffic in to 3 sections. One and measure part is students who are youngsters and teenagers, who do surfing and chat just for entertainment and educational purpose. we can include other home user and beginners in this section too. 2nd is Professionals, who do work for some multinational and local companies and they do surf for information and professional reasons. and the 3rd part is business oriented people of Pakistan, who do surf for information and trying to find ways, how they can grow their business.

From all above mention sections most of the people don't know how to search over internet. Yea Its true, being a professional SEO in Pakistan, It is so hard to tell this truth to World community that Pakistani even Asians are not fully aware of searching art. They do search just typing a term what they have in their mind whether it is about or not about product or thing they are looking for. They just know there is a site named GOOGLE, they just go there and type common words like SEX, name of celebrities and so on.

Well thanks to Google who are so efficient to drive a little of that they are looking for. And they are happy with these results. Even professionals also don't know how to get their required info from Internet. My aim to tell Pakistan and Asian people how to do searching over internet. How lets read my 2nd post for it.
