How To SEO Optimize Blogger Labels ?

SOCIALIZE IT →

Hi friends , Welcome back to the new tutorial on Blogger Template SEO friendly designing. My previous post was about Optimizing Blogger Comments for better SEO and in this post we'll optimize labels for better SEO. Do you know what these labels are ? Friends while creating a post we can create a label. The label means categories. So we can add different posts to different labels. In Wordpress these labels are called tags but in blogger it is named as labels. These labels help the blog owner to categorize his posts and it is also helpful for readers to browse more posts when they are on your site.

So the problem is this when the search engine's crawler comes to your blog for crawling and indexing. Crawler need only one link or URL of your blog's each post and page. By default they crawl each link of your blog including labels, archives etc. So it creates a problem for the robots because they get the same URL from different parts of your blog i.e. Archives, labels and the actual link of your post.

Now friends let's start solving this problem.
