Change Post Title Tags for Blogger SEO

Ideally the post title should appear before the blog name to have better search engine rankings.

Its a simple and important SEO tip that can really improve your blog's chances of showing in search results for the relevant keywords.

However, Blogger shows the blog name first and then the title of your post, which is not SEO-friendly. Even if you have customised your blogger template or using third-party templates you would need to insert this code in your Html.

Go to Design--Edit Html and look for this line of code -

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

Replace it with this code and save the changes -

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title>
</b:if>

Now you can check the post title format on top of your browser, it has changed to only the post or page title.

In case you want this format - post title + blog name - then add the below code instead of the one above and save the changes.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'> <title><data:blog.title/></title> <b:else/> <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title> </b:if>

This small SEO tip will definitely improve your search engine rankings.
