How do I set up SEO for my Blogspot
So you just started your blog here on Blogspot.
And you keep hearing about SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) for your blog but you're confused on how to set it up.
This is the simple guide into optimising your blog for search engines like Google, Bing or Yahoo Search in potentially gaining more traffic.
1. Locate your HTML Editor
Blogspot is not like Wordpress where there are different plug ins for setup. For Blogspot, you would have to manually add in lines of code in the HTML editor of your blog.
Locating where that is is extremely important.
Click on Theme> Customise> Edit HTML
2. Locate the Head Tag
Look for the <head> tag.
It is under the Head Tag that most edits would be made for your blog.
You can find the <head> tag by hitting the 'Ctrl' key + 'F' key on your key board and type in '<head>'
It is under the head tag that you paste your Google Search Console link, Google Analytics link, Facebook Pixel Code and others.
3. Copy and Paste this SEO code
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title>your blog name</title>
</b:if>
<meta content='your blog description on Google' name='description'/>
<meta content='keyword1, keyword2, keyword3' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='index, follow' name='robots'/>
<meta content='Author Name' name='Author'/>
<meta content='Author Email Address' name='Email'/>
<meta content='Insert Language' name='language'/>
<meta content='Insert Country' name='country'/>
<meta content='blogger' name='generator'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='your blog description on Google' name='description'/>
<meta content='keyword1, keyword2' name='keywords'/>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageTitle' name='Description'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName + ", keyword1, keyword2 "' name='keywords'/>
</b:if>
Edit the fonts in bold for your blog specifically.
A good place to look for key words is this FREE
keywords volume checker and for non-competitive long tail keywords, try this site "
answerthepublic" which monitors Google searches per country on any word or topic and gives you a breakdown.
This is how the code should look like in your HTML Editor under your <head> tag.
<head>
<meta content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1' name='viewport'/>
<title><data:view.title.escaped/></title>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title>Your Blog Name</title>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title>your blog name</title>
</b:if>
<meta content='your blog description on Google' name='description'/>
<meta content='keyword1, keyword2, keyword3' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='index, follow' name='robots'/>
<meta content='Author Name' name='Author'/>
<meta content='Author Email Address' name='Email'/>
<meta content='Insert Language' name='language'/>
<meta content='Insert Country' name='country'/>
<meta content='blogger' name='generator'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='your blog description on Google' name='description'/>
<meta content='keyword1, keyword2' name='keywords'/>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageTitle' name='Description'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName + ", keyword1, keyword2 "' name='keywords'/>
</b:if>
