I am using blogger from past 2 years and happy with it.
Recently I read many articles saying word press is far more better than Google in terms of SEO. It can be true up to some extent.
But what i think is if you have good content and seo optimization , Your blog/site will get higher rank irrespective of your using word press or blogger.
What can i do to improve my blogger's rank?
I have been reading SEO articles from last 2 weeks and thinking of implementing some of the things in my next post.
I am implementing following things for better SEO. I would love if someone would correct me if i am making any mistake.
1.Titles are important and the URL too. Blogger allows 40 characters in url thats why i post the title with keywords in it and then i re post it with the actual title i want users to see.
for ex: if my post is about " Best outfits" i will post with title "worlds best women men outfits clothing " which have keywords and blogger will create url like www.xyz.blogspot.com/06/11/worlds-latest -best-women-men-outfits
Then i re post it with new user readable title "World's Best Outfits For Men & Women, Latest Trends in Outfits"
First 200 words of the post are important,so i try to use the relevant important keywords at the beginning of post. But keyword stuffing can get my blog de-indexed from Google, so i try to make sentences from the keywords. For ex.i am writing about iPhone, i would use following line starting of my post
"Article about iphone, iPhone's release date , its features functions & Price, Is Galaxy s2 better than i Phone 4"
I am not sure if it is right or wrong ethically.
I try to give links of my another post at the starting of my current post or ending of my post. I have read somewhere that links containing keywords are weighted higher in search engines and search engines give more importance to starting and ending of the post.
I try using keywords in the whole post whenever it is possible, Around 7-8 times. I take care that im not stuffing keywords unnecessarily.
I use 4-5 labels(tags) for every post containing keywords and i show labels just before the post and after the post.
I keep at least 10 posts on my home page and label cloud and blog archive too.
SEO experts say Use H2 tags for important keywords & titles. I am not sure but does it really helps?? I try to put titles in h2 or h3 tags and if i am using titles inside the post i try to use h2 tags for it.
