SOCIALIZE IT →

In my previous posts I tutored about Meta Description and Keyword Tags, Show Post Title First In Search Results and today I am back with the new SEO friendly template designing tutorial. In this tutorial I am going to teach you that how can we SEO Optimize our blogger comments. If a blog is having a lot of comments from the readers or visitors then it shows the popularity of the blog and Google and other search engines also give more importance to those blogs which are most commented. But when some people post comments with bad links. It creates a problem for a blog owner , SEO and as well as for search engines.

These bad links can destroy your blog and SEO. All the websites including Wordpress and other blogging platforms keep their comments links with nofollow attribute. And nofollow means, we prohibit the search engine's crawler to crawl the link inside comments, but crawl only the content of the comments. By default in blogger , comment links are created without nofollow tags which can harm our blogs.

Then What We Have To Do ?

There is not such a long progress buddies ! We just have to add an HTML attribute to the comments part of an HTMl section of our blog which will tell the search engine's crawler to do not crawl the comment links. This attribute is not difficult to add. A child of ten years can add this attribute by following these simple steps. So friends let's do it.

SEO Optimize Blogger Comments

Go To Blogger >> Template >> Edit Html >> Proceed
Tick "Expand Widget Templates"
Find The Code Below (Tip: Press Ctrl+F To Find)

expr:href='data:post.createLinkUrl'

Click Save Template & You Have Done !
