2. Optimizing Headings in Blogger:
By default in older blogger templates or in some third party blogger templates,there is H3 HTML tag to the post title but for better SEO results we use H1 for blog’s title and H2 for post titles. Here,s the steps to follow so we can promote the headings of post titles from H3 to H2.

3. Optimizing Labels in Blogger Blog:
Let me clear first that labels and tags are same things so never fell in misconception about that, every blogger use labels for better user navigation. But Most of the time it create problem for search engine crawlers because labeled URLs as well permalink (Actual URLs) point to same post which cause confusion to search engine crawler. So we have to tell search engines that this is not the actual URL. We need to change some HTML attributes so follow these simple steps:
- Login to Blogger
- Go to Template >> HTML >> Proceed
- Search The Code Given Below
<a expr:href='data:label.url'
- Replace the above code with the code given below
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag,nofollow'
- Save your Template and that’s all done for labels
4. Optimize Comments on your Blog:
Commenting is very good for your blog but problem is that irrelevant link in comments might destroy the search ranking of your blog. So we must keep comments’ links as nofollow or external nofollow. This attribute will guide Search Robots not to follow or index the external URLS inside the comments, Simply follow these steps:
- Login to Blogger
- Go to Template >> HTML >> Proceed
- Search The Code Given Below
expr:href='data:post.createLinkUrl'
- Replace the above code with the code given below
rel='external nofollow' expr:href='data:post.createLinkUrl'
- Save your Template and that’s all done for Comments
