A race for the first page of Google™ (with tips on how-to)

Being a top rank in Google is always the goal for every website especially for bloggers. But why? Other than the popularity itself, more traffic means more money making opportunity for your blog. But how can someone reach the top? Are there any tricks to it? How do you get a high rank using only Blogger?

One way of ranking higher in google or any other search engine is by using your title wisely. Search engines like google reads the title from left to right to weigh its popularity. So basically, every post you make should have different titles with your blog title to the right. In this manner, when someone searches a keyword on the net and matches up with your blog post title then there is a great tendency that your blog post will be the top result.

Blogger doesn't have this kind of functionality which means you are not fully utilizing your blog to rank higher. But you can tweak your blog to do this. Follow these three easy steps and you'll be on your way to popularity and becoming rich.

1. Access your layout tab then go to Edit HTML
   
   


2. Search for the string below in the template code. (ctrl + F for windows)
   

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

3. Replace the code with the following code. And Save your template
   

   <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
   <title><data:blog.title/></title>
   <b:else/>
   <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
   </b:if>

That's it! Test the code by clicking every post in your blogger and you'll notice that the title is different for every page. All your posts now will be ranked higher by Google but you still need to post some kick-ass article to get you started. Don't forget to comment :D
