Optimizing Blogger Title Tags

Due to a very large response to my article about optimizing Word Press title tags, I figured I would write a few more articles describing how to optimize the title tags of other bogger software.

In this post I will explain how to change the order of the Title tags in a Blogger Blog.

By default Blogger templates come with a “smart” tag inserted that automatically places the Blog Title before every post title in the title tags on the actual post pages. This “smart” tag also displays only the Blogger Title for the main page of the blog.

In order to change the order of the title tags in the blogger blog, placing the title of your post first, you must replace the “smart” tag with new lines of code.

To do this, find the following line in the header of your template:

<title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>

Once you find this line of code in the template, you must replace it with the following:

<title>
<MainOrArchivePage><$BlogTitle$></MainOrArchivePage>
<ItemPage><Blogger><$BlogItemTitle$></Blogger> -
<$BlogTitle$></ItemPage>
</title>

That’s it! Of course you may replace the “-” with any character or HTML entity that you wish.

Check back to this bog over the next couple of days for more information on changing the order of the title tags in a variety of blogging software. Please also feel free to comment this article with any specific blogging software requests, and I will look into them.
