Blogger SEO - Publish, And Publicise

One of the odder questions, by folks who just don't get it, comes from the folks who value SEO - but don't want to work for it.
Why is Blogger so weak on SEO?

What many folks just don't realise is that Blogger leaves the SEO to us - because Blogger supports other folks rights to publish their blogs anonymously, and without SEO. It's your choice - and it's your effort to make - either way.

The choices, provided to us by Blogger / Google, are quite basic.
Which ever decision you make, controlling the search engines is a key step, on the way to anonymity - or to fame and fortune. And use of Google Webmaster Tools is a key process, in controlling the search engines, and in evaluating success.

In either case, learn the issues involved, in fulfilling your personal goal. Don't expect Blogger to do it all for you.

Make your blog a combination of what you want - and what will please your readers.

Who wouldn't want their blog to be known in the internet? Whether you use SEO on it, people will somehow find their way to your blog.

Alexis,

Believe it or not, some people want to stay anonymous - or be visible only to a small group of friends.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.
