But if in blogger, you have a lot to worry. Anyway, now there are different hacks to optimize SEO for blogger blogs too.

Some of them are very simple, while some are really complicated. I have got mails from many of my readers asking me to help them, in optimizing SEO for their blogs. When Newbies are using multiple hacks, they are having confusion that where to place code, what to replace……….etc.

So I have made an ULTIMATE BLOGGER SEO HACK, by combining the best 3 SEO hacks.

This set consist of the most popular blogger hacks, i.e :

• Optimize blogger heading for seo

With this simple hack, you can get ranked higher in search engines.this hack convert your page header to “post Header|Blog” from the normal header -“Blog:Post header”.This hack is widely used and i have got very very nice experience with it

• Add a fav-icon to your blogger blog

Don’t think that Icon didn’t have any role in providing SEO/traffic to your blog.As per my experience, readers and search engines may won’t give enough importance to a blog without a clear identity.Remember that they may be checking it with your logo !!

This is the most important of all hacks.This hack will help you to add meta tags to your blog, and thus make it more friendly and easy to search engines.

I have integrated all these hacks into a simple step, which you can easily add and customize for your blog.To add this hack, first, you want to search for ;-

<b:include data=’blog’ name=’all-head-content’/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

Now, replace the code with this ;-

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

<meta content=’YOUR BLOG DESCRIPTION GOES HERE‘ name=’description’/> <meta content=’Keyword1, keyword2, keyword3‘ name=’keywords’/> <meta content=’YOUR NAME’ name=’author’/>

<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == “index”‘>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<link href=’YOUR FAVICON URL‘ rel=’shortcut icon’ type=’ico’/>
<b:else/>

<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>
