Help people find your blog on search engines

To improve the ranking of your posts and pages in searches:

• Include keywords that explain what the post or page is about.
• Try to keep your titles under 60 characters. Short and concise titles are more readable and don’t get cut off.

To make your images searchable and accessible to all readers, you can add a short description, alt text, or title:

1. Sign in to Blogger.
2. In the top left, choose a blog.
3. Add an image to your post and click on it.
4. Click Edit .
5. In the text box: 
   • In the “alt” section: Add a long description.
   • In the “title” section: Add a short description.
6. Click Update.

If you don’t want search engines to find certain pages or posts, you can hide them. To hide pages:

3. In menu on the left, click Settings.
4. Under "Crawlers and Indexing," turn on Enable custom robots header tags.

To make your posts more readable and help search engines understand what they’re about, you can rewrite the URL of your posts: 

1. Sign in to Blogger.
2. In the top left, choose a blog to update.
3. From the menu on the left, click Posts  New Post .
