How to Swap your Blogger (Blogspot ) blog Title ?

Yesterday, I got this comment from Han:

Hello how are u, I have question, How to set tittle in like your blog this"How to add Different Meta tags to Different Blogger Post|Blogger Template"

ur tittle is not like another blogspot. How come?


This is called "Blogger/blogspot Title Swapping". Here are some examples before and after Title swapping.

Before:

before Title swapping
After:

After Title Swapping
So, Which is good one?

The second one always. It will give your blog better search engine rankings. It is always good to have your main keywords(Post title) of a specific blog post at the start rather than placing your blog title at the start. This situation becomes very bad if your blog title is very long.

So, how to do this?

As usual, Sign in to Blogger � Layout � Edit html
and find this line which is at the top


<title><data:blog.title/></title>

Now, replace that line which these:


<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> |<data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> </b:if>

and Save the Changes.
This tip worked for you? I worked for me. Share your comments,experiences here. Thank you.

My Site Bandwidth Blasted!!

Today morning, I got an email from my hosting company that my account was temporarily suspended due to excessive usage of Bandwidth.
Daily thousands of people are downloading our template copies.So, it's understandable. I got my account back and I can't afford to get it suspended again.
I edited each template again and changed the image links (presently, images hosted in 5 Photobucket accounts).

I'm providing the template image files in the download file.So, if you really like a template, please feel free to spend 10 minutes on uploading the image files to your account and change the image links in the template.. so, the problem will never repeat again.

How to do that?? (Tutorial)



QUICK METHOD:

1.Download a Fresh Copy of the template and replace your template code from

<head>

<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

<b:skin><![CDATA[/*


to


]]></b:skin>

</head>

with the one in the fresh copy

How to add Different Meta tags to Different Blogger Posts

Yesterday, a reader(Yakacha) asked me

Thanks for your beautiful templates.You r great.I want to ask u something. Do u know how we make separate unique title and meta tags for each posts in a blog? I have seen others doing that.

What's the use of adding different meta descriptions to different Blogger Posts?
It is very good for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) . Actually, why we are adding meta tags is to tell search engines what that page is all about... but, using same meta tags to all of your blog posts lessens the search engine rankings and traffic little bit.
But, if you add different unique meta tags to different Blog posts, it makes the search engines to know more about your individual blog posts and make them crawl and index your pages better and it also improves your Search engine rankings for sure ;)

So, how to add this?

For this to happen, you have to add some pieces of codes to the template.
First Sign in to Blogger dashboard � Layout � Edit html

and find this line


<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

and add this code just below that line


<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://bloggertricks.com/"'>

<meta content='DESCRIPTION' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS' name='keywords'/> </b:if>

So, the final code looks like this one


We now added meta tags to the homepage. Next, you want to add meta description for another post, for example : http://bloggertricks.com/2008/05/how-to-add-paypal-donate-button-to-your.html

Now, what you have to do is pasting the above three lines below the present code and changing the link,description and keywords.
So, the final code now looks something like


<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://bloggertricks.com/"'>

<meta content='DESCRIPTION' name='description'/>

<meta content='KEYWORDS' name='keywords'/> </b:if>

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://bloggertricks.com/2008/05/how-to-add-paypal-donate-button-to-your.html"'>

<meta content='How to add Paypal Button to your Blogger Blog, Adding Donations to your blog' name='description'/>

<meta content='Adding,Paypal,Donate,Button' name='keywords'/> </b:if>

Just like the above procedure, you can add different meta tags to as many blog posts as you can.

Try it out and share your experiences!

Web Host Rating Helps You Choose the Best Web Host Provider

A suitable web hosting service is the crux of your website�s existence; the backbone for your online business. With numerous website hosting providers coming up with different range of services, the consumer clearly stands out to be the winner, because he can choose what he wants to, without depending on the mercies on one or two web hosting providers for his online business. However, at the same time, it is very easy for the consumer to be duped or feel shortchanged because he will be falling for gimmicks and shrewd marketing, rather than having a clear knowledge about what a particular web hosting service is all about. This is where a host rating site like Web Hosting Rating comes in the picture.

Web Hosting Rating is a quality host rating site, which is on its way to become the biggest searchable web hosting directory. Now, you can get complete and comprehensive information that has clear and frank information on web hosting providers, their website hosting plans, promotional and discount coupons and unedited views and comments by real customers, who have experienced these web hosting providers.

Many people tend to pick the cheapest host service and find out to their dismay that the web hosting company service is not a reliable one. There are many parameters through which one can judge the effectiveness of a web host. The most important thing that is essential in a website hosting service is the service level of the company. It should run their network operations out of data centers, equipped with sophisticated electrical and backup power systems, advanced security measures and environmental controls. The technical support and customer service should be efficient and effective, and you should be able to have queries answered 24/7 at any time of the year. The website hosting service should make sure that your website is running smoothly with hardly any downtime, with no security issues.

Apart from the review of web hosts, Web Hosting Rating gives you a low-down on the top 10 web hosting providers. In addition, it spreads awareness through its web hosting guide about website management, website security, website marketing, website scripting etc through its unique content. The intention is to familiarize you with web security, website management, and web content development tips that will help you in your online business. Web Host Rating also presents �web hosting awards� every month where it lets its visitors pick the web host in each of the 12 web hosting categories, and give their verdict. With so many features and benefits, Web Host Rating is definitely the best way you can choose a perfect web hosting site for your business.
