Got lots of time today so i decided to read along blogs about Seo. then I stumble upon a blogger user that has an article about SEO on blogger. Let’s have it a try.

SEO! SEO! what the hell is SEO? I know many of you guys who own a blog never thought or never find it necessary to know about it. But SEO- Search Engine Optimization is one of the basic thing a blogger should know.  
Lets Take a case Study of my current [blog](http://chethstudios.blogspot.com/?ref=blog.melardenio.com) to make things simpler.  
**Title tag.**  
Have a look at the chethstudios page and you will notice a change in the format when compared to a basic Minima Blogger template.  
The Default Title style for free basic blogger templates is " Blog Name: POST Name ". Lets change it to a more neat Format " Post Name | Blog Name " This is one of the basic things a SEO guy will tell you and it surely what our Mr Google will like. WE will use an else tag so that it becomes a bit more SEO friendly.  
For Example Lets convert it to:  
Free E-Book « The Blogger Template Book | cheth Studios  
Have A look at the screenshot:

Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML and check the "Expand Widget Templates" option.  
**Important Step:** Now as a precautionary measure please download your template so that you have an emergency backup if in case you create any errors :)  
First locate the code in your Blogger Template:

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

and replace it by,

<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'> <title> <data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/> </title> <b:else/> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>  
<title><data:blog.title/></title>  
<b:else/>  
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title>  
</b:if> </b:if>

**Sitemap.**  
Login into [Google Webmaster Tools](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/?ref=blog.melardenio.com)
