edit Blogger.com - Easy To Use Blogging Platform


Blogger.com was founded to by Pyra Labs and was adopted by Google in 2003. Blogger.com is one of the most popular blogging websites today. Blogger.com had the undistinguished distinction of popularizing the modern day blogging format. Even novices who know nothing of internet and have only basic computer operating skills can create a blog at Blogger.com and keep it updated. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. Anyone may create, edit, add photos and customize his or her blog. Blogger.com is faster than any other blog and it hardly takes few seconds to upload and publish your blog.

edit Features


When Google bought Picasa in 2004, it integrated the photo sharing utility of Picasa in Blogger.com. This enabled the users to upload photos to their blogs at Blogger.com. Later Google added additional features like CSS-complying templates, personal and exclusive archives and pages for posting comments, posts and so on.

You need to create a Google account if you wish to create a post at Blogger.com. You may host the blog either internally by using a Blogspot.com url, or you may host it externally on your own domain or on your own server through SFTP or FTP.

The blogs at Blogger.com are attached to a Google account. Thus the quality of server is excellent and this in turn provides a reliable and faster service. When you use Blogger.com for blogging you may use additional facilities like a drag and drop template, label organization, web feed options and reading permissions and so on. Since Blogger.com is a part of Google it has few unique features which are not available at any other blogging site.

edit Special Add-Ons


The Google tool bar has a feature for direct link to Blogger.com. It is called “Blog this” and it allows the users who have Google accounts and blogs, to go directly to their blogs. In Microsoft Word, “Blogger for free” is a special add on. This way you can directly save a Microsoft Word directly into your blog and you may host the posts offline. However this particular feature is not yet compatible with the new version of Blogger.com.

edit Earn Money From Your Blog


Blogger.com is compatible with the Adsense service (another Google property). It is a very simple way of earning revenue from your blog. You just place the Adsense ads in your blog at Blogger.com and you earn money through clicks. Blogger.com also supports multiple users’ blog and you can form a group blog.

If you are looking for a great blogging experience, just log on to Blogger.com and start blogging instantly. At Blogger.com you can become a veteran blogger in no time at all.

Title

The title of a web page appears in search results as the link to that page. Learn more ...

Purpose

The title of a web page appears as a clickable link in search results and bookmarks. A descriptive, compelling home page title with relevant keywords can increase the number of people visiting the site.

Search Engines

Search engines view the text of the title tag as a strong indication of what the page is about. Accurate keywords in the title tag can help the page rank better in search results.

Length

A title tag should have fewer than 70 characters, including spaces. Major search engines won't display more than that.

Content

The title tag of your home page (and any other page on your site) should not contain the site’s domain name or URL. These will appear near the title in search results, so use your 70 characters to tell people what the page is about. The title tag should not contain any HTML, because it will be displayed incorrectly or not at all.

  • Good: This web page has a title tag.
  • Good: The title tag is a good length.
The title of this site's home page:
Blogger: Create your free Blog

Meta Description

Search engines often use the meta description of a web page to describe it in search results. Learn more ...

Purpose

The meta description tells searchers what a web page is about. It is often displayed below the title in search results, and helps people decide if they want to visit that website.

Length

Search engines will read 200 to 250 characters, but usually display only 150, including spaces. The first 150 characters of the meta description should contain the most important keywords for that web page. Using fewer than 50 characters could mean you’re not saying enough about the page.

Content

The meta description should be engaging, and should include keywords that accurately reflect what visitors will find on the web page. The keywords should be the same ones that a site's potential customers are using to search. Include a site’s location if it is important.

  • Problem: The meta description is either empty or missing entirely.

H1 Headings

The H1 heading is an important sentence or phrase on a web page that quickly and clearly tells people and search engines what they can expect to find there. Learn more ...

Just one H1

In most cases, a web page should have just one H1 heading. Using multiple H1 headings is okay if that is a logical way to organize the page, but they should be used sparingly. That’s because search engines can view multiple H1 headings as an attempt to signal that all the content on a page is equally important, a tactic that’s seen as an attempt to game the search engine algorithms.

Purpose

Search engines look for an H1 heading to determine what a page is about. Human visitors do, too.

Content and placement

The H1 heading appears on the web page itself, unlike the page title, which people will see mostly in search results.

The H1 tag (which contains the H1 heading) is usually listed first among the other heading tags for a page. None of the major search engines, however, will penalize a site for listing H2 through H6 tags ahead of the H1 tag.

The H1 heading for a page should be different from its title. Each can target different important keywords for better SEO.

  • Good: This page has one H1 heading.
H1 heading for this site's home page:

Robots

Your website's robots.txt file can tell search engines to ignore parts of your site. Learn more ...

Purpose

Website owners usually use robots.txt to let search engines know which pages or sections of their site shouldn't be indexed — for example, web contact forms, print versions of web pages and other content that's duplicated elsewhere on the site. Robots.txt can also be used to request that specific robots not index a site. For more information, read How To Use Robots.txt.

Be careful!

If you're going to use robots.txt, be careful not to accidentally exclude search engines from pages you want people to find. To learn more, read Don't Block Search Engine Crawlers.

Search engine robots

You'll need to know the names of specific search engine robots - or "bots" – if you’re going to exclude any or all of them from any part of your site.

  • Google’s bot is called Googlebot. Google is the world’s largest search engine, and is where many people discover new websites.
  • Bing’s bot is called msnbot. Bing also provides search results to people using Yahoo to search the Web. Together, Bing and Yahoo are the second largest search resource, after Google.
  • Baidu’s bot is called Baiduspider. Baidu is a major search engine in China, and the number of people using it is increasing rapidly.
  • AboutUs.org’s bot is called AboutUsBot. To create a Site Report, AboutUs uses crawling technology that’s similar to what search engines use.
  • Good: This website’s robots.txt file is not blocking major search engines from crawling its pages. Your website can appear in any engine’s search results.

Canonical Url

This website can live at www.Blogger.com or Blogger.com. It's best for your site's visibility to live at just one URL, or web address. You'll want to create a 301 redirect to the URL you choose from the other URL. Learn more ...

Choose one or the other

Whichever of these URLs you choose, make sure your website lives ONLY at that location, which is called the canonical URL for your site.

Be careful!

If you choose www.MyWebsite.com for your site, make sure people who don't type www can get to your site, too. Create a permanent 301 redirect from MyWebsite.com to www.MyWebsite.com.

If the same web page exists at two different URLs, people can choose to link to one or the other. Links from other sites to your website are valuable — they tell search engines that your site is important to people. By splitting valuable links between two identical pages, you're diluting the power of those links to help a page rank higher in search results.

  • Problem: Both Blogger.com and www.Blogger.com are redirecting to different locations.
