Optimizing your Blogspot site

After you have successfully created a blog, the next step you have to take is optimization.

This step serves to increase search engine visibility and user experience quality. You can access features that support site optimization on the left panel, such as:

• Adding a Description for the Blog

You can add a description for your blog so that visitors and search engines can easily find out general information about your blog. You can set it in the 'basic settings option' under the 'settings panel'.

• Optimization of Blog Posts

You can easily understand how to optimize blog posts in the 'settings'.

Each of these supporting features is very easy to access and interpret so you can learn and explore each function yourself.

• Optimizing Blog for SEO

To optimize a blog for SEO, you can do three things:

1. Write a compelling summary of your blog in meta tags to attract visitors, because meta tags will appear in search engines;

2. Creating inaccessible text or HTML messages on your website page, which contains a notification that the intended page is not available; and

3. Use the 'custom redirects' option to link broken or wrong links to the some pages, for example the homepage.

Design and Arrange Website Layout

The fourth step is to edit the template layout. Blogger already has a standard free template used by a blog.

However, if you want to use a different template, you can download them here. 

What you can do to beautify the layout of the template includes:

• Adding a Logo

Logo serves to define and identify your brand. Blogger allows you to define a logo for your blog. 

For beginners, you probably don't need an expensive logo design. Alternatively, you can create a simple logo using free tools.

After that, try selecting a layout option and selecting the 'edit' link in the header box to select a logo.

• Eliminating Navbar

Navbar is a dialog box that contains navigation, usually appears at the top of every page containing a link to logout and visit other blogs .

We recommend you to remove it because it will reduce the aesthetic value of your blog. How to get rid of it is by pressing the 'edit' link on the navbar box and select 'turn it off'.

• Adding Gadgets

Gadgets are code snippets designed to help you add various functions to your blog. 

You can use gadgets such as social media buttons, search options, visitor statistics, and so on. You just need to go to the 'layout' option and select 'add a gadget'.

Create Content

Now, it's time for you to write interesting content that can attract visitors.

You can write content about something you like or content that contains the most searched keywords on search engines.

To start writing, you can go to the blogger dashboard and select the 'new post' option.

Earning from Google AdSense

Before that, you need to note that there are many ways to earn money via blogs such as providing services, selling products, marketing, and so on.

Once you have enough content and visitors, you can start using Google AdSense to reap the benefits.

Register AdSense through your blogger dashboard and ask for approval by clicking on 'earnings' and 'apply for AdSense'.

Turn Blog Into Business Field

When you have completed the procession for your blog, your chances to monetize your blog will be great, especially if many people visit your blog. 

Because Google will use your blog to serve ads and as compensation, you will be paid for every click directed at Google Adsense on your blog.
