Heading tag is very important for a website. Heading tag six types (h1-to-h6). H1 tag is more important than other heading tags. Now-a-days Search Engines give more priority on h1 tag for website ranking and in SERP (Search Engine ResultsPage). Search engines show the content in first search result which contains H1 tag. But the post title of blogger templates is not customized by h1 tag. In blogger template h1 tag is used for the site title and h3 tag is used for the post title as default. For better search engine optimization h1 tag is more important than h3 tag. If you use h1 tag for post title then you will get lots of positive changes in your blogger blog within a short time and your blog will appear top in search engine result. Without blogger other CMS (content management system) is fully customized for H1 tag, so do not need to optimize. Today I am going to share how to customize your blogger blog post title for better SEO.

4. Now find below code ( In Blogger Template below code is used for Post Title Tag )

<h3 class='post-title entry-title'>
             <b:if cond='data:post.link'>
               <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
             <b:else/>
               <b:if cond='data:post.url'>
                 <b:if cond='data:blog.url != data:post.url'>
                   <a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
                 <b:else/>
                   <data:post.title/>
                 </b:if>
               <b:else/>
                 <data:post.title/>
               </b:f>
             </b:if>
           </h3>

5. Now change all h3 tags with h1 tag.


STEP: 2

1. Again find below code ( Below code is used for Site Title Tag )

<h1 class='title' style='background: transparent; border-width: 0px'>
               <b:include name='title'/>
             </h1>
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
<h1 class='title'>
         <b:include name='title'/>
       </h1>

2. Now change all h1 tags with h2 tag.

Note: After crawling your blog you will get the changes in SERP (Search Engine Results Page). H1 tag is more important to search engines, so you can use H1 tag multiple times on a page just like home page or any static page. But never use multiple H1 tag for an article or in a non-static page, then it has negative effect to search engines.
