Why Blogger posts fail to get high Rank in Search Engine Results?
The
most important part of a web page to get search engine attention is its
title tag. According to Google webmaster guidelines title tags of each
pages in your website should be unique. As the title tags of your
website or blog pages are similar, you are loosing the search engine
trust. So it is the duty of each webmaster or blogger to maintain unique
title tag for each post. Now lets check how blogger works.
The title tags of every blogger (default) posts look like
Blog title + Post title
So if you have a long attractive title for blog, that will repeat to every blog posts. It is known that only the first 62 characters in title tag are considered by Google and other major search engines.

Post title + Blog title
Now we have the advantage that search engines will see the post title first. To change the blogger title structure we need to edit default blogger template.
1. Log on to Blogger account and click on Layout
2. Click on Edit HTML
