On Page SEO
đ What is On-Page SEO? On-Page SEO refers to all the actions you take within your blog posts and blog settings to help search engines understand your content and rank it higher. If you’re using Blogger.com, this means optimizing each post, page, and setting to make your blog easier for both Google and your readers to navigate and understand. đ ️ Key Elements of On-Page SEO for Blogger Sites Here are the most important things to focus on when doing On-Page SEO on your Blogger blog: 1. Title Tag Optimization
Include your main keyword near the beginning of your title. Keep it clear, relevant, and under 60 characters so it doesn’t get cut off in search results. đ Example: "Easy Banana Bread Recipe for Beginners" (Keyword: Banana Bread Recipe) 2. Meta Description In Blogger, you can add a Search Description for each post (under the post editor). Write a brief summary (about 150–160 characters) that describes what your blog post is about. Include your keyword naturally, and make it appealing so users want to click. đ Tip: This doesn’t affect ranking directly, but it improves your click-through rate. 3. Use of Headings (H1, H2, H3) Use proper heading tags to organize your content. This helps both search engines and readers understand the structure of your content. 4. Keyword Placement Add your target keyword in: The first paragraph Headings Image alt text Throughout the content (without stuffing) đ Avoid keyword stuffing—it harms your ranking. 5. URL Structure Blogger creates URLs based on your post title, but you can edit them under "Permalink". Use a custom permalink that’s short, includes your keyword, and avoids stop words (like and, the, of). 6. Image Optimization Rename image files with descriptive names before uploading (e.g., banana-bread.jpg). Always add alt text (image description) with your keyword. Use compressed images to increase loading speed. 7. Internal Linking Link to other related posts within your blog. This helps keep readers on your site longer and helps search engines crawl your content better. đ§ Example: If you write about banana bread, link to your “Best Baking Tips” post. 8. Mobile-Friendly Design Most visitors now come from phones, and Google ranks mobile-friendly blogs higher. Choose a responsive Blogger theme and test your blog on multiple devices. 9. Fast Loading Time Use tools like PageSpeed Insights to check your blog speed. Make it original, easy to read, and valuable to your audience. Use bullet points, short paragraphs, and clear formatting. đ¯ Final Thoughts On-Page SEO is essential if you want your Blogger site to rank well and attract steady traffic from Google. The good news is—you can handle most of these optimizations without any coding. By paying attention to your titles, keywords, headings, links, and overall structure, you’re sending clear signals to search engines that your content is worth showing to readers.
