We certainly hope that this SEO tip we’re about to give you can
definitely go a long way in getting you more – and more relevant – search
engine traffic.
What are title tags?
To put it simply, title tags are the document
titles required in all HTML/ XHTML documents. The term “documents” includes
your website or blog. Ideally, your title tags will be used to help identify
the contents of the pages of your website or blog.
The HTML code that defines the title of
your HTML documents follows a certain format. Let’s take my blog –http://techpro365.blogspot.in/– as an example.

Where can I see the title tags?
Title tags – or the titles of the pages of your
website or blog – can be found in:
1. The title in your browser toolbar.
2. The title for the linked page in search engine
search results.
3. The title of the
bookmark / favourite when the page is added to bookmarks / favourites
So why are title tags important?
Title tags are essential in SEO because they help
search engines determine the relevancy of your Web pages for certain keywords
and search phrases.
However, a number of
publishing platforms, content management systems, and blogging platforms don’t
necessarily optimize your title tags for you. And that’s where this quick SEO
tip comes in: to help you– edit your title tags dynamically and get found more
easily in Internet users’ search queries.
Change Title Tags in Blogger
Go to the Design tab of your Blogger Dashboard.
Then, under the Design tab, go to the Edit HTML tab.
Look for this piece of code in your HTML template:
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
If you can’t find it, just press CTRL + F and paste
the code on the search box to find it.
Replace the code with:
<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType ==
"index"’>
<title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/>
| <data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>
Click “Save Template” and you’re done!
Other SEO tips on title tags:
1. Apart from the actual post name and
blog name, it might be useful to add relevant keywords to your title tag, too.
Of course, this means doing your keyword research in advance.
2. Don’t keyword-spam your title tags,
though. Try to limit yourself to 70 characters. Longer titles may be cropped by
search engines as the results appear in search.
3. Always check your spellings. A small
type error may be all that’s stopping you from achieving great things with your
title tags.
