A new (re-branded) blog Like Ngbuzz Blog needs all the optimization it can get.
NOTE: This is for Default Blogger template users like me :p
If you have a custom template, I bet this is already done - except it was coded by a moron.
So today i shared my first post to Facebook / Twitter and discovered it had the Blog Title in the Post Title
Example: Ngbuzz Blog: We Moved from Ngbuzz to Ngbuzzblog.com
Other Posts indexed in search Engines also had the Name of the Blog included in the title.
According to the experts; Repeating your Blog title in every post is bad for SEO
I didn't want to remove my Blog title entirely from Dashboard >> Settings - So i turned to google for help.
Here's what i found from a graphic design blog:
How to Remove Your Blogger Name from All Posts
- Login to the Blogger Dashboard and navigate to Template >> Edit HTML > Expand Widget
Using CTRL + F, Search <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> - Replace the code above with this one:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
<title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title></b:if> - Save changes Made.
That's All
I hope this helps someone.
Does it take a few days to change on google or is it just that this trick doesn't work for me?^^
ReplyDeleteIt depends on how frequent Google bots crawl your content. I'd give it a week or two.
ReplyDeleteYou can see immediate changes when you share your new post on social media. The blog title won't be there
