Search engines plays an important role in bringing traffic to blogs including those hosted in Blogger . So the normal web pages should be fixed for errors and tweaked in such a way to drive more search engine traffic . These seo tactics can be divided into both on page and off page optimizations . Today I will be discussing about on page optimization techniques for users of Blogger platform .
1. Submit sitemap :Submit your sitemap to major major search engines like Google , Yahoo and MSN . Submission of sitemap enables the search engine to discover the internal pages of your blog . For Blogger blogs , the sitemap is their corresponding RSS feeds .For reference , I have written an article regarding the submission of Blogger sitemap in Google . You can submit your sitemaps to Yahoo here to MSN live here .
2. Provide Meta tags :Meta tags are simple HTML codes inserted into a template for giving an idea about different parameters of a website, mainly for search engines . Many people says the meta tags are out of SEO focus from the last 2-3 years . But the case is different with Blogger blogs. Have a look at my blog description in Google , it is what I have given in my meta tags . Here there is no plugins and the meta elements should be manually filled for the whole website or if you plan for a single post .
3 Optimize the post page tittle: Blogger post page titles are not formatted in way it should be . They are come along with original home page title and cause a potential flaw in the search engine positions . Check out this blog post to fix this problem ,
4. Maintain the keyword density : Keep in mind that what you are posting about . Include the the necessary keywords along the article by maintaining the quality . For instance , here I have a title Blogger seo which is repeated two three times in the article without affecting the reader interest .But keep measures to avoid keyword stuffing for fooling search engines .
5. Order your pages : Arrange you achieve a pages and posts .Give a access to all your posts from a single clickable text link , as per Google webmaster guidelines . Providing related posts and linking to older posts in new ones will also help to boost your serps.
4.Remove label and place text links : The label pages in Blogger are automatically set nofollow by Google . So there is no seo value in keeping the labels in home page . Alternately , you can categorize your posts and include them in single post that can be fixed in homepage . For eg ; Instead of placing the label Blogger tricks and tips , I have written a main post contains all the similarly tagged posts and placed as a text link in my homepage .
6. Use nofollow in suitable locations : Nofollow is an HTML attribute that instruct the search engine to follow a link or not . If it is applied , the targeting link won't get value for that link in search results . You can use nofollow in download pages an when linking to your competitors or spam sites .
7 Optimize images for search engine . Another source of search engine traffic is the image traffic . It is too important for an entertainment or celebrity site . Check out what you can do for image seo in Blogger .
8 .Optimize the code : Optimize your Blogger template by removing unnecessary JavaScripts and CSS codes . This will improve your search engine ranking along with faster page load time .Also remove unnecessary external links.

Didier Grossemy - Six Steps to a Successful Home Page
Didier Grossemy says, this can be a distinct competitive advantage for you... meaning converting or not and of course getting a return on your investment.
Step #1. Ask yourself a few questions
* Why are you building a website or landing page?
* What will be your expected conversions?
1. E-commerce — adding an item to a shopping cart and beginning the checkout process.
2. Lead generation — filling out a registration form to accept an offer (generally free) with the implicit understanding that this may lead someday to a sale.
3. Branding/education — spending a significant amount of time examining and/or interacting with content on the site that the Home page is a gateway for
4. Relationship — opting-in to receive communications from the brand/publisher on an ongoing basis.
5. Membership — registering to actively use the site on an ongoing basis in exchange for either payment, an implied agreement to view advertising, or to allow one's activity data to be measured.
6. Viral — telling personal and professional contacts about the Home page, perhaps via an email tool, blog links, word-of-mouth, etc.

including keywords in title tags of hyperlinks -- e.g. [a href="url here" title="keyword here"] can also be of help.
great tips.
can any one send me a classic template which helps to get more clicks as my site has daily 100 visitors ut less click... my e-mail thekkil52@gmail.com
Thanks these are great, I just can't get hits to my site.
Thanks for the tips. I think i have followed almost all of them except the "Remove label and place text links " one. I havenot done so and as i have a blog with large content i cannot have a faster idea of placing text links.. Do you have any idea how can i manage that?? and also i found that the label pages can be just changed such that the title is only displaced .. can this be effective way incase ??
Ok you talked that label pages are automatically set nofollow by Google.. So i think even using just the title in label pages also wont solve the problem.
So how can i build my links in faster way ? can you please suggest me?

You can use these tips too http://www.techknowl.com/2009/03/blogger-seo-tips-and-tricks.html
Though labels are nofollowed , it adds some keywords to blog posts and sidebar. So those keywords maintains your blogs keyword density and gives better search engine rankings . There no other benefit from labels .
